Composition Project



I am writing a 5-minute piece for a teleconcert between ensembles in California, New York, and Tromso, Norway.

5/26 CCRMA Spring Concert (stay tuned!)

Program Notes: Originally written for a network performance between ensembles in California, New York, and Tromso, Norway, “Caverns” has been adapted for one ensemble [and one computer] for the CCRMA Spring Concert. It explores different modes of human vocalization and, in the new version, human-computer collaboration.

5/6 Recorded my classmates making sounds in the recording studio.

5/4 Need to adapt the piece for the CCRMA final concert, because the ensembles in NY and Norway won't be present..

4/26 Concert! Went smoothly...minus the New York troupe, which was absent. Rehearsed the piece in parts once, before performing the entire selection. Many thanks to my classmates for performing and bearing with my strange ideas. :)
