Abstract/Summary

Secure. Contain. Piano. is a five-movement piano cycle inspired by modern folklore entitled "Secure. Contain. Protect.," or SCP. This folklore stems from an online encyclopedia documenting fictional monsters referred to as SCPs. The cycle is based on a story about a prisoner escaping a government facility which also contains these SCPs. Each movement portrays a mixture of dread and comedy as the prisoner runs through the prison, desperately searching for the exit and avoiding monsters on the way.
