Wind (2016) is a through composed piece written in late 2015. It starts out with a big gust of wind that slowly turns into a gentle floating ostinato. The melody floats over the ostinato and eventually gets over complicated until the gentle breeze turns in a full wind storm. The music continues back into a gentle breeze until it turns into a more grandiose melody that shows a picture of kites flying in the air supported by a strong warm breeze. It eventually ends and goes back to a more ominous restless breeze that then builds up to the finale where the final gust of winds blows us into the ending.
