Pranayama is a four movement chamber work for fixed media, with an optional video component. The video was created by my dad, Vin Grabill, an artist and professor at UMBC. The work derives almost exclusively from sounds of the piano, except the third movement, which also lightly incorporates voice and synthesizer.
