Remora, The 3rd Obstruction

Remora, First Obstruction

A rough draft of a piece for a play of the same name by Shelagh Stephenson.

The Memory Of Water

All of the pieces in the Phonebook Cycle employ a particularly interesting compositional technique. I chose the phone numbers of the growing number of important people in my life and used the numbers themselves to dictate the pitches and the inherent scale the audience would hear. These pieces are quite short, and ordered chronologically in terms of when they were fully composed. They are titled in this fashion: the person’s first and last initial. I hope you enjoy them.
