    I have long explored the world of percussion through touch, revealing marvelous and hidden sound worlds in simple objects. This collection shows my lifelong passion of bringing such new works to light.  A number of these pieces have lived with me since my graduate days, others are recent commissions, but all have expanded my musical horizons in extraordinary ways.  Now by extending the world of physical percussion with virtual computer objects and processes, I am excited to enter new sonic and mental territories in the company of these many remarkable composers.

about

Shadows of the Electric Moon (Per Bloland, 2013) For solo snare drum and electromagnet In Shadows…, the timbral palate of the snare drum is altered in a number of ways. For most of the piece the drum is upside down, with the snare exposed. Various cymbals are brought into contact both with the drumhead and this exposed snare. In addition an electromagnet rests on the snare for the much of the piece. This electromagnet receives an audio signal from a computer, and attempts to reproduce that signal by vibrating the snare at the appropriate frequencies. The success of this endeavor is, of course, inherently limited.

The content of the piece is derived from permutations of an ever-evolving set of highly constrained material types. The sound types emphasized tend to be abrupt and mechanical, often involving some form of continuing yet broken evolution. As an example, a single material type might go from very slow (or low) to very fast (or high) over a minute, but that minute is broken into chunks of only a second or two and interspersed with chunks of another material type evolving in a different direction.
This piece is dedicated to Patti Cudd.
