Music composition and original piano play: Jane Ford (Zhen) Music production: Suno Copyright (c) Jane Ford (Zhen) “Am I watching or being watched?” Bears are shy Composer’s Note This piece was inspired by a quiet encounter with a black bear in Yellowstone, an experience defined not by movement, but by stillness and mutual awareness. The music is built on simple paired intervals that circle around a central tone, where moments of stability and chromatic tension coexist without resolution. Rather than unfolding toward a climax, the piece lingers in suspension, echoing the fragile balance of that moment when two lives were sharing the same space, each aware of the other, yet unchanged. In this stillness, the music does not seek to describe the wild, but to listen to it.
