About

Stressings is an album by Jordan Dykstra and is composed for — and consists only of — acoustic viola.

Traversing diverse landscapes, Stressings aims to explore these textures through the liminality of the viola, what psychoanalysts view at the moment of extreme behavior changes, the historical story told by layers of rock and sediment, and, amongst others, how painstakingly obvious a sunset can be.

Drawing partly from a graphic language, Stressings' narrative weaves through such vantage points as being from on top of a mountain to a gutted valley.
