Another day, another premiere! This piece, "quiddities," is centered around personal experiences in this time of quarantine, both as someone who survived covid and as a musician who is attempting to remain collaborative despite distance.
Each of the four movements utilizes technology in a different way, becoming less traditional in sound but more collaborative in process as the movements go on. The accompanying visuals are all pictures and videos taken of my laptop throughout the rehearsal process, edited and processed to match my conception of the accompanying movement.
Many, many thanks to the incredibly talented performers who made this piece a reality!
Violin: Yuan-ju Liu
Viola: Tyler Pacheco
Cello: Herine Coetzee Koschak
Bass: Ayaka Ayaka
In case you missed the live premiere, here is brand-new ensemble Deuxplex, consisting of Alexa and Alexis Letourneau, performing my piece "defender of blackbirds."

I also had the opportunity to collaborate with the composer Steven Snowden and several other Fresh Inc participants on the second installment of the Sounds From Home project. We created a digital art installation that is fully collaborative, even for the listener. See a walkthrough and download the app at: stevensnowden.com/fresh
