Musical Compositions & Notation Examples
Below are selected compositions of mine by genre: Chamber Music | Laptop Ensemble | Art Song
You can also look at some of my computer music notation down at the bottom of this page.
Desert Ruminations
string quartet
Desert Ruminations is a two-movement work. The first movement, entitled Anthropogenic Effect, contrasts delicate sounds with overbearing rhythms. The second movement is called Drought Ritual and it is meant to be a call for rain from the same place that has suffered such devastating anthropogenic effects.
The performers in this video are Emilio Vazquez, Clarice Collins, Daniel Lorenzo, and Alex Duke.
Sinken
laptop ensemble
There is an excerpt of Sinken on the home page of this website. Currently, there are 3 versions of Sinken: one for laptop trio, one for laptop quartet, and one for laptop trio with overtone singer. The version above is the quartet version.
Sinken has been heard at the Spoleto Festival (Italy), Naru Arts Center (South Korea), Kulturhaus alte feuerwache Studiobühne (Berlin), and Monk Space (Los Angeles).
Richard
art song for piano and bass
The text for this art song comes from Shakespeare's King Henry VI, part 3, act 5, scene 6. In this scene Richard has just stabbed an already dead King Henry. He then slips into a terrifying monologue.
The performance on this track is given by Neil Edwards (bass) and Eric Hiller (piano).
