Still Life With Viola

The director of my Spring Show often does a black light based Mummenshanz type piece as part of our show. She often uses Tomita or other 70s electronic scores but this year she wanted something really avant garde. I gave her this piece...mix of electroacoustic sound and additive synthesis.

Pavane for Mixed Ensemble Lento

This is a short experiment with Fibonacci numbers in an avant garde context. I may do a few more of these in differing ways.

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.
