Afterwards is an eight-minute composition for saxophone quartet. Directly inspired by a series of photographs from a redwood grove, the piece attempts to mirror the process of holding onto a good memory by fixing it in one's mind. The concepts of perception and memory are explored through fleeting consonances and ephemeral harmonies. The first movement is slow, unhurried, yet constantly evolving. The second movement is faster, more energetic, and careens through a series of relatively motionless scenes.
