Hollow City was written for and commissioned by KUAR Public Radio of Little Rock Arkansas to be used as incidental music for a radio program. The music of Hollow City came to me slowly over time as I walked the streets of New York City. I reflected on the many buildings which reminded me of how worms and insects burrow into the ground making the ground hollow in some places. I thought about how humans burrow upwards into the sky to create a hollow city in the sky.
