“The Twilight People” was written during a time of great difficulty for me. I was frustrated with my life’s direction, my musical output, and my economic standing. I reconnected with this old text by Seumas O’Sullivan and wrote this piece as an emotional response, which reminded me of why I chose to pursue music composition in the first place. Throughout the process, I drew inspiration from Chopin, another troubled composer, and his so-called “Raindrops” Prelude.
