Flood by Thorny

In July of 2023, central Vermont was hit with some record-breaking floods that devastated many people and businesses. One town over from me saw 9 inches of rain in 24 hours.

This music was written shortly thereafter, inspired and influenced by what I saw as it unfolded and as I helped in the recovery and cleanup. It weighed heavily on me in the subsequent months as I sat down to work on music, and I started to think of ways to convey the force, the devastation, the despair, and the hope through the music.
