‘The end of cities’ is a piece for percussion trio composed specifically for the metal portico over the Kayem Arbor, using only resonant sounds inherent in the structure. It was commissioned by the UT Visual Arts Center. Premiere by Line Upon Line percussion trio.

“The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.” - Italo Calvino
