    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

Tattoo of a Gesture (Margaret Schedel): In 2013, percussionist Patti Cudd asked me to write her a piece which could travel well and used her twenty-inch bendir as a focal point. This constraint dictated the orchestration—a small bongo rounds out the membraneaphones while elephant bells, singing bowls and cymbals create a metallic orchestra. A number of striking and muting implements allow the performer to generate a wide variety of sounds and textures from this small set of instruments that are then processed and augmented by the electronics.  The piece has 9 movements, but there are several different shorter paths through the material. Each of the movements uses the same processing techniques in the same order, although these techniques can be compressed to 1.5 minutes or develop over 6.5 minutes. These fixed positions define the form, but the live percussionist projects through these potentialities in very different ways. The first step of the processing acts almost like a sieve—only allowing certain sets of frequencies at specific times or specific volumes to be analyzed and manipulated by the computer. In this way, each movement shows a different angle to the piece; the whole is only suggested, heard behind a tattered veil.
