This short work imagines a lone figure in a desolate world. They are angered and frustrated by their predicament of loneliness, but in the end, they also wonder if there could possibly be anyone else out there enduring this same fate.
All I Wonder was written for Sputter Box as part of their project "Sputter (SHRINKS THE) Box," a collaborative effort seeking to bring music and art alive during the 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic. My sincerest thanks and appreciation goes to the members of Sputter Box for supporting artists during these incredibly difficult times, and for the opportunity to keep creating music for others.
