fake it till you make it (2021) is a miniature for toy piano. The consistent pulse of the left-hand underlays a chromatic, playful melody that, through dissonance and cross-relations, betrays its central instability. The piece grows, reaching for resolution but ultimately cannot make it and instead retreats to the familiar.

This piece was written for the “Fifteen Minutes of Fame” project and was performed by multi-instrumentalist David Bohn.
