Woodwind Homage to Atlanta Trap

Nihilism for Noise Musicians

During the week of January 22 I had my installation ˈpragməˌtizəm up in the WaveCave at CalArts.  ˈpragməˌtizəm is a graphic score that explores additive functionality. Where functional things can be more than functional. Where functionality could be additive. Where something as practical as a chair and a lamp can have an unpractical layer. This piece was inspired by the desire to combine woodworking and music composition. Where composition is intertwined with self sufficiency and sustainability. The score is made from poplar scraps.

Thank you to Alex Kent (guitar), Cody Putman (bassoon), Marcos Mena (2nd guitar), Matthew Perez (composition), and Max Gude (bowed electric bass) for interpreting the score. Also thank you to Jorge for helping me completing my furniture designs, cuz dang.. wood working is difficult.
