Incandescent Beads [7'] - 2017

piano/keyboard and interactive media

When gazing into the night sky, what can humans do but marvel at beauty of the stars? Although we can’t hear any sound from them, their sparkles and shimmers project a sort of cosmic rhythm. Not familiar with the glistening? Try listening. Little Incandescent Beads in the night sky, that’s what they are.

frame and pane [6'30] - 2016

violin and Max/MSP

This improvisatory exploration for solo violin and computer is best performed in a cold, dark space. It seeks to portray the experience of looking out a window during a wintertime snowstorm. The computer, too, "improvises" its part so that, like the weather, no two listenings will ever be the same.

the Face, the Hands [7'30] - 2015

violin and interactive media

86,400 seconds elapse each day.  How often do we, as humans, actually "experience" the seconds ticking by?  How does our (im)perception of this constant pulse affect our thoughts, feelings, and actions?  Listen as the violin explores rhythms and pulses inspired by this singular, steady beat.  Do the seconds float in and out of your consciousness?  Can you feel them?
