Study for Wigner Function (2024) is a nine-minute electro-acoustic piece for soprano and alto saxophones with fixed media. Inspired by quantum physics, the work transforms the evolving Wigner function—a quasi-probability distribution used to visualize quantum systems—into immersive sound. Through layered saxophone textures and a fixed electronic part, the piece sonifies the transition from classical coherence to quantum interference, offering a visceral journey into high harmonic generation and Schrödinger-cat states. Based on the research presented in MCM 2024 by R. Yamada et al.

Hommage a Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) – The music of Hildegard has always amazed and inspired me.  Well, EVERYTHING about Hildegard has amazed and inspired me—the things that she composed, wrote, built, and accomplished—especially in an age when women were completely oppressed.  She is quite simply one of the greatest geniuses this world has ever produced, and it’s criminal that she’s not as well known as other male geniuses from her time (or later).  When I was thinking about this Hommage, I wasn’t sure how to approach it.  Then, one day (July 11th, 2018), I was doing some completely unrelated work, and out of nowhere, the entire piece came to me all at once, as in a vision.  Yeah, I know how that sounds, especially given Hildegard’s history, but that’s what happened.  The piece was written in one afternoon.
