Programme Notes:
Los Angeles. Home of Hollywood and tabloids. Home to Malibu waves, to rare rain, to fire, earthquakes, to helicopters. “lens” was written encapsulating what Los Angeles has meant to me as a second-generation Angeleno. This work in a way is a “lens” into my life, driving from the Santa Monica Mountains to Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the ways in which I have seen my life, my home, be distorted through media.
