Solo Works
Recursion
Multi-percussion solo written for Brian Archinal. This piece maps pitch space hierarchy from AI generated data onto timbre hierarchy. For instance, skin instruments are the most prominant, followed by wood and metal instruments.
Markov Patterns
Algorithmically generated music embodied by percussionist Steven Moore. Recorded on March 2022.
Flou
For Mira Benjamin, this piece explores a co-attempt between the performer and the composer to embody otherwise unidiomatic algorithmically generated music.
Adrift
Written for Seth Josel, Adrift uses James Tenney's method of approximating just ratios with the 72-TET scale. The gutiar scordatura is played with natural harmonics only to achieve microtonality that is as accurate as humanly possible.
Stillness
Part of a portfolio of pieces titled Four Pieces with Cognitive Constraints which explores a generative system based on Fred Lerdahl's 16 Cognitive Constraints.
Vertigo
As its name suggests, this piece plays on cyclical thematic materials on a range of extended techniques on the alto saxophone. Recording by Shaohui Hao.
Niflheim
Written for Heather Roche, this piece was inspired by the dark, misty, and freezing realm of the Old Norse. Breath sounds, hollow timbres and slow moving bass notes are used to respond to its theme.
The Lost Meadow
This piece juxtaposes a range of flute extended techniques with the typical flute timbre which has been frequently associated with rural, greenery landscapes. Recording by Nicholas Sabisky
Three Musings for Piano
A set of three miniatures for solo piano.
Illumination
Illumination explores the wide range of dynamics, register, and timbral colour available on the accordion, ranging from expressive high note vibratos to low register cluster chords. Recording by Bartosz Głowacki.
