It Comes in Waves is inspired by my move across the country to pursue my masters in music composition.  I was filled with many different emotions, happy, sad, excited, lonely, frightened, but not all the time.  There would be points in the day where it would all hit me and I realized that I was actually living this life that I chose.  This is where the name of the work comes from: not feeling them all at once, but instead in waves.
