Hyperloop

Buckle in for a high-velocity ride with Hyperloop, a driving and energetic etude designed for the modern flutist. Set in a propulsive 6/8 meter, this piece challenges the developing college-level player to maintain precision and forward momentum while navigating smooth, frictionless intervals.

The work opens with a mechanical, rhythmic "Launch" sequence that tests low-register clarity and articulation. A soaring lyrical middle section ("Suspension") demands breath control and tone color changes in the upper tessitura, simulating zero-gravity flight, before plunging into a dexterity-building bridge filled with chromatic twists.

Perfect for juries, technical assessments, or as a contemporary recital opener, Hyperloop bridges the gap between standard exercises and modern performance art.
