Written in 2017, this work is for electric violin and real-time Logic-based effects.  The title include a bit of word-play and homáge to French electronic music pioneer Jean Michael Jarre, as well as the kind of inward looking self-investigation as described in Sylvia Plath's novel.  The music may be described as beautiful, but occasionally unsettling, and somewhat feline in some of its curiosity and reflection.

This live performance is by Davis Brooks, for whom the piece was composed, and recorded in Voxman Concert Hall at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa.

Quatre Regards dans la Belle Jarre

I am an eclectic composer who writes with a postmodern mischievousness: my pieces can be comedic/ironic, simple/complex, or humble/reverent. My recent projects have taken a turn toward turn towards the sweeter side, exploring a consonant adiatonicism.
