Ostiatim

Through a series of fifteen fragments, Ostiatim explores the sounds produced by doors and the emotional inflections of the people who interact with them. Examples of sounds include: doorchimes, westminster doorchimes, knocking, doors banging, slamming, and doors creaking.

The title, meaning “door-to-door,” is meant to depict the timeline of the piece. Each fragment should be treated like a fleeting memory--sometimes connections are made, and other times the moment slips away.
