Collage III (2010)

This piece was made with recordings of natural sounds that have all been computer-manipulated, at times stripping them of their inherent rhythm, pitch, sense of space and context, but never entirely. When working with the computer-manipulated sounds I treated them as though they were natural, using their transformed, computer-generated characteristics the same way that I would a natural recording's. This piece was heard on the April 15th , 2010 Oberlin Composition/TIMARA Departments Concert of Student Works. 

I See The City (2009)

In this piece I utilize the Latin phrase "Video Urbem" (pronounced "Wi-deh-oh Ur-bem" and meaning "I see the city") as both source material and subject. Travel, be it purposeful exploration or forced abduction, and the resulting effect of familiarity or detachment is explored through changes in content, timbre, and atmosphere. This piece was heard on the December 3rd, 2009 Oberlin Composition & TIMARA Departments Concert of Student Works.
