Rain Country - Copy

This was my final project in Contemporary Harmony 2 at Berklee in 1981. I always thought it was kinda bad and so never really pursued a performance but now I'm kinda liking it.

Brass Quartet (1981) Audio

Onde e Sisma (Theremin Centenary Concert — Loudspeaker Orchestra Concert)

A composition for seismic waves, prepared piano and theremin.

My piece Hyperdrone #2 for prepared piano, theremin and seismic data was performed by Lydia Kavina (theremin) and myself (piano) at the Theremin Centenary Concert. It was a privilege to present the work in this programme celebrating 100 years of the theremin.

Recording by Ian Thompson (stereo version from the ambisonics recording).
