Sound artist, media artist and composer for both humans and computers. So much banjo, too
Half Premonitions of the Moon, the collaborative piece Sarah Bryant and I created, is included in the 38th Bradley International Print and Drawing Exhibition opening tomorrow in Peoria, Illinois. The exhibit is the second-longest running juried print and drawing competition in the US. Tyanna J. Buie juried this year’s exhibition which runs until March 31, 2023.
My text score From the Middle of a Clearing is featured as Day 41 of 365 in the A Year of Deep Listening project presented by the Center for Deep Listening.
Here’s Rene Reder, viola, and Chris Steele, piano, in the premiere performance of my work Numbers Station (Cynthia). This is from the Chamber Music @ AEIVA concert on October 28, 2021, held in conjunction with the exhibit Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration at the Abroms-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts, Birmingham, Alabama. The concert was organized by Laura Usiskin.
Like many of my pieces, this composition is open form and modular. In Numbers Station (Cynthia) all of the musical material relates to two dates chosen by the performers. So, as much as I love Chris and Rene’s performance here, I’m looking forward to future versions of the piece with different instrumentation, different numbers of performers, different chosen dates, etc.
