Deep Water for 8-part Trombone Choir by David Fetter is a unique work with haunting and dramatic sounds which the composer produced by stacking moving chords in different registers and dynamics. The musical canvas is always moving or swaying like the water and creates an hypnotic effect to the listener.
Here is a brief comment from the composer about the work:
Deep Water refers to the deep sea that surrounds and provides protection to Taiwan.
