For those experiencing a rejection from their home, whether that be from political disagreement, familial discord, cultural bigotry, or something else, their feelings towards their home can be quite complicated. How is one supposed to feel towards a place that rejects a person that it helped to shape and create in the first place? In this piece, the electronics represent the environment and the violin represents the individual. The two parts begin in harmony, until they experience a rift that puts them at odds with each other for most of the piece. After this, each part makes sense on its own but creates dissonance when put together; this discordance causes pain that then creates dissonance within each element until they are resolved together. "Volcano in Michigan" was written for solo violin with tape playback.
