Per Diem (For Jeffrey Reinhardt)
To play your instrument is a joy. Even in the face of musical complexity, to play is not complex. To feed, clothe and house yourself by your playing is complex. Per Diem is structured around a series of valleys and plateaus. From a technical standpoint it is easy to move between the one and the other, but if interpreted right, the path should feel like a matter of life and death.
