however. About three years before writing this, I
played an arrangement of Slayer's "Raining Blood" for
classical and folk instruments with some of my students

Contrary to most of my music, there is no real idea or

played an arrangement of Slayer's "Raining Blood" for
classical and folk instruments with some of my students
at their graduation party. After that, I wrote a metal
song inspired by the same Slayer song. That metal song
was shelved for three years, until one day I decided to
transcribe it for a trio of classical instruments.
After many other changes, the result is the current

make further changes one day).
This "backstory" raises questions about the genre of
the piece, of course: Is it contemporary classical? Is
it thrash metal? Or is it something else entirely?
