This is an improvisation with a new synthesizer called the Tesseractuated Harpeggichord. I built the instrument in Pure Data. The first live performance occurs at Goucher College on the Computer Music Recital, May 4, 2017.
   The main driving mechanisms of this instrument are chain-modulated arpeggiators, one for the tone and one for the modulation of the tone.

Mixed Signals was written for Lisa Weiss. It involves a computer (or phone) tracking piano notes and responding. The pianist plays a solo part written in a flowing, yet rigorously composed style, while the computer answers with randomly reordered notes creating a harmonic cloud.
