Synchronicities - for NOW Ensemble

Premiere performance of "Robin."

Soprano - Madison Williams
Piano - Cody Garrison

Text:
Robin sang sweetly
When the days were bright,
"Thanks, thanks for summer,"
He sang with all his might.

Robin sang sweetly
In the autumn days,
"There are fruits for everyone,
Let all give praise."

In the cold and wintry weather,
still hear his song:
"Somebody must sing
Or winter will seem long."

When the spring came back again,
He sang, "I told you so!
Keep on singing through the winter,
It will always go."

Robin - for soprano and piano

Reading of "As An Iceberg On The Sea" by the Lamont Orchestra during their New Music Reading of Spring 2021.

Largely written in response to the events of 2020, "As an Iceberg on the Sea" is inspired by the tumultuous times through which we are living, the damage humans are doing to the environment and to each other, and the underlying hope that someday we will make sense of all this and begin to move forward toward a better, brighter future.

"The Jealousy of Academics" is constructed of compound grooves created by two players who have music beamed in different ways, emphasizing different points in the bar. Each of these grooves are then further pronounced by the other two players before the music deconstructs into an improvisatory eruption of sound. The piece uses only prime-numbered odd meters in descending length (13/8, 11/8, 7/8, 5/8, & 3/8). The piece has been revised since this recording.

For a quartet of found objects as follows:

3 woods
3 glass objects
3 metals
3 drums
