Erase for Saxophone Quartet (2023)
Erase" is inspired by the drastic transformation, evolution, fading, or deletion of something significant over time. This may include beliefs, ideas, concepts, reality, and values. My piece is rooted in my frustration with how easily people can be manipulated by what they see on the internet. I am particularly troubled by the proliferation of fake news and lies, that people end up advocating for them.
The recent 2022 Philippine presidential election led to conflicts among friends and family members due to political beliefs. Many individuals compromised their values and personal convictions by getting caught up in political fandom due to deceptive stories or affiliations.This piece may also represent anything that was once important but is gradually becoming forgotten, like songs we used to sing, books and stories that once were known, or outdated gadgets that have been replaced by modern technology. It can also encompass changes in beliefs, attitudes, and societal norms, or relationships that have faded away.
Through this piece, I pay homage to the people whose sacrifices have been erased or overlooked as a result of historical revisionism. It is imperative to uphold the values and truth that have shaped our history, which must not be disregarded, manipulated, and forgotten.
