For solo trumpet (Bb and C), plunger mute and an open-wing piano.
A 5 movement piece. Each movement describes a continuous action
set by the feeling of a getaway, as follows: Escape, Hide, Fall, Injury and
Last Breath. In order to enhance the effect, an
essential audio and visual element takes part. This involves the
solo player standing on stage. The lone human feeling of a getaway is
expressed through a single virtuoso. The piece is composed for a brass instrument, an instrument who's sound is
produced through human breath, as well as consisting of various air/blow
effects to enhance the presented feeling. Getaway involves theatrical actions in order to engage
the listener more with the music as well as to create a visual music throughout
the silent sections of the piece.
