kilimanjaro

for piano and electronics

about

"Named after the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro signifies the importance of perseverance and remaining steadfast in one's commitment.

This piece didn't originally have anything to do with determination, but after using an effect in Ableton Live called 'Kilimanjaro' to create the ambience, that connection appeared to me. Now, I struggle to think of the piece in any other way."

— Eli Tausen á Lava
