...And the River Passes...

Description: "Acufeni" are auditory phenomena: hearing buzzings or hisses that are not outside but inside ear. Briefly: one cannot stop these sounds anyway. So, nearly all the sounds in thie piece are long, dark, and static. A "pedal" bass tone goes from beginning to end; throughout the 10 minutes, it raises its pitch very slightly from E-flat to A-flat (approximately 1/2 tone each two minutes). Either sounds make different episodes; sometimes, these episodes are based upon contrasts. More frequently upon r… more

And Then She Said

Description: The concept of "And Then She Said" evolved while I was working on the music for the production of "Medea-Plays" conceived and directed by Ed Isser at the Stanford Drama department. Ed had the ingenious idea to use four narrators, backstage, each reciting a different version of the Medea story in a different language (Greek, Latin, French, or German), while four actors on the center stage spoke in English. The rich musical possibilities that this idea offered attracted me immediately. With Ed's … more

Clavirissima

The sound of the piano is… more

A Digital Eclogue

Despite the limited capabilities of small computers, the system is able to produce interesting musical responses by focusing on perceptually salient aspects of the live perfo… more

Eclipse

Description: Eclipse reflects the ongoing interest of the composer in evolutionary processes as models for musical ideas evolve simultaneously, but their evolution also reflects their interaction with each other.

The first half is itself in two parts during each of which a different type of musical element is predo… more
