New Piece – Pattern Recognition

I made a page for my newest piece Pattern Recognition, commissioned for the C-Squared duo of Lisa Cella, Flute and Franklin Cox, ‘Cello.

The piece will be premiered in April, 2010. Score soon to come.

Pattern Recognition juxtaposes instrumental phrases and materials, which are repeated and varied in performance according to choices made by the performers. It was my goal to make music which had considerable freedom in performance while retaining a unique and identifiable character.

Pretty restrained and/or atmospheric.

Performance of “Solid State” tonight at Montana State University

The Electric Monster Laptop Ensemble, headed by Hsaio-Lan Wang, is making their concert debut tonight. They’re based at Montana State University, and playing in Reynolds Recital Hall there. My piece for networked laptop ensemble, “Solid State,” is being performed along with six other pieces for laptop ensemble. You can see more on Hsiao-Lan Wang’s site here, and I’ll post a recording when I have one.
