Excerpt from "GATES" (2013), 8:20

Completed in 2013, "GATES" is an electroacoustic composition that was partly inspired the Pleiades constellation. A musical mapping of an image of the constellation occurs in the middle and at the conclusion of the composition. One can hear this depiction in the “wood block” timbres. The composition begins with a complimentary relationship between periodic and non-periodic sounds; the sustained sonorities are engraved with a variety of successive fleeting noises. Recurring timbre themes and the transition from ephemeral to sustained sonic activity suggests a binary structure. The composer is grateful for the many musicians who participated in recording sessions.

Excerpt from "Nothing That Breathes/The Lot" (2013), 2:03 

The human voice plays a significant role in this composition but it is not overbearing. In general, the vocal element progresses from occasional pure vocal tones, to extended vocal techniques, to processed voice. In each case, the voice is placed within varied sonic contexts. I am thankful for the many performers who contributed to this composition; in particular, the talents of lyric soprano Yoo Sun Na. I also wish to thank James Beauchamp for allowing me to record his Putney VCS3 and Sever Tipei for DISSCO/LASS/LASSIE; both were utilized as sound sources in this composition. Many of the sounds were recorded in the Experimental Music Studios directed by Scott Wyatt at UIUC. Originally an electro-miniature entitled "The Lot," the composition was subsequently revised and dramatically expanded to become "Nothing That Breathes."

(Binaural Reduction)

Enthalpy is a thermodynamic property of a system. It is the sum of the internal energy added to the product of the pressure and volume of the system. It reflects the capacity to do non-mechanical work and the capacity to release heat.  Change in enthalpy is calculated rather than enthalpy, in part because total enthalpy of a system cannot be measured since it is impossible to know the zero point. However, it is possible to measure the difference in enthalpy between one state and another.

Through the metaphor of enthalpy this work displays a narrative soundscape that could be tought as a sonic record of the anthopocenic disruption over natural habitat.

Entalpía (binaural reduction)

When the gods had decided to destroy humanity with a flood, the god Enki
(Akkadian Ea), who did not agree with the decree, revealed it to Ziusudra, a man well known for his humility and obedience. Ziusudra did as Enki commanded him and built a huge boat, in which he successfully rode out the flood. Afterward, he prostrated himself before the gods An (Anu) and Enlil (Bel), and, as a reward for living a godly life, Ziusudra was given immortality.
