Karst plays Max Reger, Op. 59, 5&6 (1901)on 1/31/2016 @ Sacred Heart, Indianapolis, Indiana

This is an atmospheric work. It uses a sound source of birdsong at dusk in Northwest Indiana, just outside of Chicago. The sound source is intoned and subsequently processed to create new timbres, textures, and layers. The result is a meditative reflection on evening.

Poem IV Two Tracks

This piece was composed using metallic sounds as an incipit and sound source. The piece is somewhat playful yet atmospheric. The latter quality becomes more apparent as the the processing and layering of new textures becomes more profound.
