NOTES
Jun is named after my cellist friend, Jun Jensen, who came up with the funky, pizzicato cello line that opens the piece, and which is developed throughout. He generously let me "have" the idea and run with it as an electric guitar and cello duet, which I did with great enthusiasm.
Unfortunately, due to changing geographical circumstances, we never had the opportunity to perform it together.
