Victoire “I Am Coming For My Things”

The most obvious thing in this composition is the sound of the phone message — “I am coming for my things,” repeated a few times over, rewinding the memory to make sure it happened, or going back over the thought as if to underline it and make it more real. It was said, it’s over, you have to stick with it. The music is deeper, darker, totally abstracted. I hear shock, I hear loneliness, I hear self-pity, I hear anger, I hear relief. The emotions seem isolated to different instruments in the arrangement, but they overlap — never quite coming together on the same plane, but relating in some way. It’s the feeling of having all these thoughts and feelings, and not yet knowing how it all connects. The past is a painful memory, the present seems like an agonizing eternity, and the future is inconceivable.
