Observations
Wild Wash Road combines elements of jazz and alternative music as well as classical to create a twister of feelings. The piece sound every different especially with the marimba, an unusual instrument. Sohn was influenced by Bill Evans, hence the sudden Jazz tunes in the piece as well as Dutilleux, a French band.
