Life Is Like That was written specifically for the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra, its standard instrumentation plus a synthesizer. It was performed September 15, 2007 - great fun.
Several metaphors were developed from clichés into music ... Life Is Like That uses a 5+4/4 motif, which weaves into an uncertain rhythm that is vaguely familiar. Harmonies, at times both consonant and dissonant, elide throughout the piece; one chord passes into another, almost unnoticed.
