Composer: Alannah Marie Halay (2014)
Instrumentation
Solo piano
1. Repress (transitive): to refrain from showing emotions and passions
2. Repressed (intransitive): inhibited, prevented from showing emotions and passions
The crucial difference here is whether the subject chooses to refrain or is inhibited against their will.
Brief overview of Repress[ed]:
Repress[ed] aims to inflict a sense of restriction on the pianist. Trills, unison movement, and a focus on the mid-range of the piano intend to evoke an imaginary handcuff-like restraint. The pressing (and re-pressing) of (yet more) surrounding piano keys intends to suggest a fight to break free from these invisible handcuffs.
