about

Vinetz grew up both in Galveston, Texas and San Diego, California and spent his early years living on the gulf coast island. At age 7, he moved to San Diego, where he spent the remainder of his childhood and adolescence. While most of his formative experiences took place in San Diego, Galveston has always occupied a nostalgic corner of his heart. In August 2018, he drove cross-country from San Diego to Houston to begin his graduate studies in composition at Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music. STARS ON THE GROUND chronicles that cross-country journey. The first movement, “burning sunrises,” is inspired by the brightness of the desert in eastern California and Arizona during the summer months. The second movement, “intermezzo,” distorts both the central melody and driving pulse of the first movement, while attempting to convey a sense of lightness and flight. The final movement, “beneath a sunburst haze,” draws inspiration from a humid night in New Mexico, when traces of orange, pink, and red from the evening sunset blended with piercing yellow lights from a Shell gas station and a smoky, humid, cloudy haze in the air.
