About the piece:

Commissioned by the Chicago Composers Orchestra. In A River is Found on the Other End, composer Jonathan Hannau starts with a paper cadenza: shredding, tearing, and manipulating paper; until a solitary note finds its voice and a lush melody guides a lone traveler to the end of a river. Artist Yoonshin Park translates the soundscapes into colors, lines, and forms that resonate the dynamics and density of the sound.
