Commissioned by the American Composers' Forum and written for Tigue Percussion, 2019. Premiered 1/24/19 at The Kitchen, NYC.

Mass of Dissolution is a new work commissioned by the American Composers' Forum and written specially for the percussion trio Tigue. The piece is conceived of as an incantation against the blind violence of military-industrial power that dominates global dynamics. Combining extended techniques for percussion with dislocated fragments of traditional American drum corps music, this work takes an intense and abstract approach to contemporary percussion music. With an array of percussion instruments, from tympani to triangle, to random metal objects, these instruments are used to evoke the sound of helicopters, engines, and alarms – all industrial tools used in modern warfare. Direct musical references to military percussion repertoire taken from Wilcoxen's All American Drummer become a machine so tightly wound that eventually the apparatus seizes and violently disassembles itself.

Thanks, enjoy.

"Epic" - Peter Margasak, writing for Bandcamp.com.

(*1994)

I want my work to manifest as a flow of memory and association akin to a state of semiconsciousness in which the dreams of near-actualized utopias, anxieties and acts of will in defiance of a darkening future traverse the sensorium, at the threshold of language, with euphoria, fear, eroticism, and hope. 

I work constantly to develop a space beyond all prior aesthetic divisions, forcefully defining itself on its own terms, understanding itself as the result of a singularity, in a non-AI sense: a single consciousness, or a single group of consciousnesses (as in a swarm or hive), acting at a specific moment in time, with its own desires, relationships to history, propulsions. 

I understand the year 2023 to be a time where divisions between the material and conceptual; the constructivist and the intuitive; the referential and the new have all been dissolved back into an open space of possibility.

I take honesty to be the most powerful engine of invention.
