The end of 2020 and the beginning of 2023 found me enjoying new and inspiring collaborations, watching the racing technologies further disrupt our narratives and expectations, and writing a great deal of music as a result! As we head toward the unknown and roll the windows down some more, I hope that your various destinations will include stops to see these stellar artists and the timely productions they have created. |

I am hugely looking forward to performing my piece Unraveling the Linear with the excellent Sylvan Winds in the Plugged-In concert at the Marc A. Scorca Hall at The National Opera Center on Sunday February 19! It promises to be a terrific concert featuring some of my favorite composers - G. Ligeti, Lawson&Merrill, K. Azmeh, A. Loggins-Hull, P. Bimstein, C. Folio and H. Cowell - in a rare blend of electro-acoustics. My mini arsenal of choice will be Arturia’s MicroFreak synthesizer with processing boxes plugged into a special speaker system. Unraveling the Linear explores our relationship with time, moment to moment perception. But it may be an illusion, a result of complex interactions in timeless space.
I’ll be interviewed live before the performance as part of Composers Interviewing Composers segments for the 2023 Composers Now Festival.
February 19 2023, 6 pm
Marc A. Scorca Hall, National Opera Center

Unraveling the Linear was commissioned by Sylvan Winds with funding from the Individual Artist Program, made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) with support by the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

The piece explores three tunings, each responding to a stage in the process of waking. The last is tuning of my own design depicting a fully awake, yet altered state. The concert will be streamed live to YouTube on the Microtonal University (MU) channel. Come to MicrotonalVision and experience some mind-expanding works by Amelia Huff, Michael Vick, Witold Maciak, Jair-Rohm Parker Wells and Stephen James Taylor!
