-Stargazing (2008) is a piece for solo performer and computer audio/visual elements. Derived from the basic idea of my installation Squares and Rectangles the piece uses pitch and amplitude information from the performer to alter elements of the computer’s output. Projected onto a screen is the image of various fictional constellations which the performer uses as a score. A transparent shape is overlaid which changes shape as the performer plays different pitches and dynamics. Elements of the electronic sound are influenced by the shape of the overlay and how similar (or dissimilar) it is to the other constellations.
play excerpt of Stargazing:
-Expansion (2008) grew out of an interest I have in creating sounds which have their own inherent character. Through a rather unconventional system of oscillators modulating each other, I constructed a sound which could be controlled only on a very limited scale. The result is a sound which has a life of its own and refuses to be “played” like a traditional synthesized sound. This sixty second rendering was realized by slowly changing frequency spread of the sound to gradually bring out its inherent qualities.

-Abyss (2006) is a live performance computer piece created in Max/MSP. While performing the piece, I add a visual element by appearing to be possessed. This is done to emphasize the live performance aspect of the piece.
-From Within (2006) is a tape piece of various flute and violin sounds and techniques, the goal of which is to give the impression of being inside the instruments. It was created using Pro Tools.
