Singularity is inspired by the idea of a technological singularity, a theorized point in time at which human-created technology becomes capable of creating technology superior to itself. The piece outlines a narrative of interaction between organic life, represented by the acoustic instruments, and non-organic life, represented by the electronic sound.

Singularity was the sole recipient of the 2014 James E. Croft Grant for Young and Emerging Wind Band Composers, issued by the Atlantic Coast Conference Band Directors' Association (ACCBDA).

Recorded by The University of Texas Wind Ensemble, conducted by Scott Hanna, October 14, 2016.

Es gibt noch eine Menge altes Zeugs von mir, bin aber zu faul es in mp3 zu wandeln. Auch diese Auswahl zeigt mich nicht immer von der besten Seite. Das ist mir aber egal.
