The Moon

Fated Nines - Jason Eckardt (Amorsima Trio)

A dissonant but lyrical work for alto saxophone and piano. Commissioned by and dedicated to Hailey Myers.

Notturno for alto sax and piano - Minchew

Commissioned by CSUF new music ensemble in 2022, this graphic musical score was created as an expression of place and a means to bridge a gap, allowing anyone to potentially realize the score, no traditional note-reading required. 

I found this particular leaf on one of my regular hiking trails, an old revolutionary war era road near where Benedict Arnold plotted with Captain Andre of the British military forces. The Lenape people called this area their home at that time and they had likely made the road before any of us appeared. 

The performers for this performance are the WP New Music Ensemble (Cedar Ellis, Jeremy Maida, Chelsea McBride, Joseph Sabando, Isla Brownlow, Skylar Hagnar) with Payton MacDonald and Carl Patrick Bolleia, directors, and the composer on piano in concert on Dec 8, 2023.

This electronic fixed media work was presented at the Vermont College of Fine Arts Electronic Showcase.  It is my third use of Bohlen Pierce tuning, and the first to be entirely in Bohlen Pierce.

Brain (Bohlen Pierce)

This fixed media Electronic work is my first effort in 14 EDO (14 equal divisions of the octave), a microtonal tuning.  It was presented at the Vermont College of Fine Arts Electronic Showcase.  The words are from the pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus, arguably his most famous quote.  The speaker is my wife, Carol Beatty.

Beautiful Harmony (14 EDO)

Sonata for Two Flutes and Piano

This work was written for the RSCM competition organised by Gemma Dashwood last year. I had nothing to do with rehearsals, and was taken aback after arriving at the venue during their final rehearsals. The choir were singing the song I had written, and I recognised the work well enough, but it was very surreal to hear such fantastic voices create it into a piece of magic. What a great thing to have been able to experience. I recorded this on my little mini disk player. I so love that minidisk!
