@lyndonji, piano
"Tiny Forests" is inspired by the urban planning concept of breaking up a city's concrete-and-glass jungle with plots of miniature forests. While small in scale, they still adhere to the principles of how forests form and grow: a nourishing layer of soil, above which lies (in ascending order) the shrub, sub-tree, tree, and canopy layers.
Musically, the piece presents three tiny forests interacting within a city environment, and charts their growth as they extend root networks, to connect with each other, and eventually remake their urban contexts into an ideal "garden city."
["Tiny Forests" is a Jury Prize winner in the Sydney International Piano Competition's "Composing the Future" initiative, generously supported by Creative Partnerships Australia; the work is also a part of James Palmer's 'What is a Prelude?' project]

Straight out of Breath of the Wild. At first, I hated the dissonant, nasty bass chords, but then I realized that was the point. The 'Tiny Forests' are breaking up the harsh metal and concrete cityscape. As the piece goes on, and the greenery expands, the city noise becomes less harsh.
Thank you for listening and your kind words!! Yes they're the antagonists in the story :)
Amazing piece, really loved hearing the garden city emerge from the three forests!
Thank you Zach for your kind words!

Beautiful piece and intriguing concept - I love both classical music and urban planning, so it's amazing to see the two brought together like this! Thanks for sharing the performance and the score.
Thank you for listening and your kind words! I aspired to be an architect or urban planner as a kid :)
Very atmospheric and mysterious. I loved how the sextuplets continued to the ending from 6:57
Thank you for listening! It was really satisfying ending the piece lyrically :)
Absolutely delightful, as someone who did some work (albeit in high school) about afforestation, and the tiny forest methodology this was something I never would have expected to see represented in music, but it was really well done.
Thank you for listening and your kind words--I love exploring the ways music can intersect with other disciplines!
fond memories of my little practice room at bowdoin 🤣
I loved how many detailed questions you asked me--I feel like you really clarified my own idea of the piece as a result of our collaboration!

An acquaintance once said: "I am no longer able to hear ambient post-2019 solo piano works as anything other than derivative of the BotW OST"
Great job though!
Love love that OST! Another huge inspiration for me is Austin Wintory's score to "Journey"
Beautiful Harmonic Choice! How do you come up with them?
Thank you! I play around on the piano until I find sonorities I like, and go from there.
Glad the algorithm brought me here. Really gorgeous writing-I love the sense of space in Forest II. Congratulations on the prize.
