Silverman-Garbage Brain (SP)-B/V/2M/P

Garbage Brain was composed during the COVID-19 quarantine of 2020, and gained its title from the addled feeling of being shut in a house for days on end. Musically, the work attempts to create great sonorous strength through doubling of instruments and adding a strong bass through inclusion of the piano.
