Concert

Bell Weaving

Recently, I was fortunate enough to have a piece of mine for fixed media included in an “Etno-Electro” concert here in Warsaw.

The concert focused on pieces that integrate electronics with ethnic and/or folk music. Ethnic/folk music ranged from traditional Polish singing to gamelan ensemble. My piece combined a field recording I did of church bells and birds in Berlin with recordings from Sharon Williams’ “Public Drum Project”.

More information is located here (unfortunately only in Polish) if you are interested in learning more about the concept.

 

Concert at Ohio University

Late notice, but I just found out that my piece, “Ends on A”, for woodwind quartet and piano, will be performed by Ohio University’s New Music Ensemble tomorrow, April 5th. If you’re in the area, consider stopping by! Also on the program will be Terry Riley’s “In C”, which is a must-C. …Get it? …I’m sorry.

Info about the event is available here.

Scriabin Response Project Premiere Concert

Last night, pianist Kristofer Rucinski performed the premiere concert of his Scriabin Response Project, in which he commissioned twelve composers to respond to Alexander Scriabin’s 12 Etudes, Op. 8. While I was not able to attend, I heard that the concert went wonderfully. Not only did Kris perform all 24 pieces, but he memorized them as well! The second part of this project will be a studio album recording– I greatly look forward to hearing the results and sharing them with you.

For now, have a listen to the Scriabin etude to which I was asked to respond:
