About the Work
Do you have an experience of intensely chasing something in your dream, only to wake up in a hazy room unable to remember what was fleeing? 'Chasing but Not the Alarm Clock' embodies this surreal pursuit through syncopated saxophone hockets, rapid slap-tongue accents, and interlocking rhythmic spirals that evoke an adrenaline-fueled chase through the subconscious.
