Programme Notes - 
“June Story” refers to a poem I composed in June 2018 in Greece.

June
You run
With your eyes
Shimmering
And with the seabirds
Flapping around
Becoming a part of your attire
Your moving shadow
Stretches into the streetlight
I think that
At one moment
Your hairs
Crash my face lightly

At the time I started to compose this piece of music, I was in a very different mood than the time I wrote the poem. Instead of following the light, romantic atmosphere in the poem, I eventually decided to write a work destroying it. I wanted the music to be dramatic, impolite, and in a way violent. I indeed kept this idea while composing the piece.

It’s funny that when I finally got to listen to the recording of the premiere, underneath the dramatic, impolite, violent surface, I could still find a strong sense of romance everywhere in the music…
