Abandoned Building – Kingston, NY 2004
Imaginary Sextet – 12:00
A virtual sextet for bell sequence, drone loop, celesta glissando, very short buzz clip, alto sax riff and noise zipper-effect artifact. My intention was to use these events as instruments, and create ways for them to interact sonically.

Kingston Window – 11:01
In May of 2004, on a cloudy, lackluster day in downtown Kingston, NY (where I was living at the time) I placed 2 condenser mics in a stereo pattern on the bedroom windowsill, facing out to the street. This is the recording of that snapshot of space/time, mixed with a ‘granulated’ version of the event. It’s quite relaxing…with a wake-up call at the end .

Noise Quartet – 9:24
Along the lines of the above sextet, this is also a piece for 4 noise ‘events’ that interact as ‘voices’ to form a quartet of sorts. The method and results, however, are quite different, as these are really 4 different improvisations of white noise subjected to granular synthesis processing and then mixed together to form the ‘quartet’.

Hallucination for Harp – 7:08
This piece uses a looping/delay/filter technique pioneered by composers like Steve Reich. What I think saves it from being hackneyed is the way in which the delay points interact with the resulting harmonics to create some interesting counter melodies. The sound source is a one bar sample of a 5-note harp sequence from the 3rd movement of Handel’s Concerto in B Flat Major for Harp.
