This piece was composed as an experiment in dissonance and extended harmony. The piece is glued together by several unifying motives and themes. Phantoms is a musical representation of the dark half of humanity. Sadness, depression, solitude, insanity, and pure chaos are all well represented here. This piece also allows the performer to express themselves in a short improvisatory section near the conclusion.
