Program notes: 
I have a deep fascination with fables from various cultures. The shared themes and similarities in these stories hint at a long history of collective human experience, and possibly at shared fears, fantasies, and dreams rooted in our psyche. I’m particularly intrigued by how these stories often contain contradictions in their messages, reflecting like a mirror to the tangled nature of how we live together.
In Fables, I tried to create sonic fables. By that, I mean each movement’s title and the way the clarinet weaves through the ensemble are meant to stir questions in the listener’s mind. For instance, “Why is this movement called Wisteria?” I hope that the titles and the music will stir an imaginary fable in the listener’s mind, a vague sensation of an ancient story. Not a tale you’ve heard before, but one that’s been sleeping somewhere inside you. A feeling of storytelling, of little fables from a forgotten past that haven’t yet been written, a faint memory, a shared dream, a fable that hasn’t been told yet, but still somehow feels familiar.

Composed for Daniel Boeke and Ensemble Oerknal

On the Sensations of Tone II (2016) - for Eight Low Instruments and Electronics

Performance: Dresdner Philharmonie, conductor Lennart Dohms

The title derives from the word "perigee" - the point at which an object makes its closest approach to the Earth. The Greek prefix "peri" means around, near. Here "Ge" refers to the tone G.
