IX. Adolescence

Adolescence is an extract from a longer improvised performance between piano and tenor saxophone, capturing the tumultuous journey of puberty.

This is further enhanced by the use of an odd time signature, 7/4, which adds to the feeling of disorientation. The awkward transitions between parts reflect the jarring and abrupt pace of growing up,.
