After attending the performance of Strike! and the premiere of Residue at the International Computer Music Conference in New York in 2019, I went directly to a composer's residency in Visby on the island of Gotland, Sweden.

This residency was for three weeks and would be the first time in my entire life that I would have such a long time concentrated entirely on music. While that was certainly wonderful, I did find myself going a bit nuts at times.
