winter wheat is inspired by the beautiful season of fall. Molly and I both have a love for fall. It’s complexity as a season, along with the way we both experience it made it the perfect subject of this project.  As we collaborated on the direction of the piece, I inquired about Molly’s unique experiences with synesthesia, and how that affects her ideas and opinions of the season. Because of this unique challenge each section contains a different focal point. 
flow represents the colors, warmth, and spices of fall. Much like falling leaves, the tones display an array of oranges and yellows that blend through the counterpoint of the slow lyrical lines. 
hallowed eve focuses on the minor second, a pair that can be quite dissonant and dark, much like Halloween.  The rhythmic complexity and conversation between the two instruments builds the dark, fun, and mysterious side of this cold season. 
winter wheat wraps up the piece with ideas of renewal and rebirth. Although many view fall as a time for death and sleep for the winter months approaching, this movement argues that like winter wheat, life springs from fall with hope sprouting out of the brisk, cool earth.

Ripples

This is an electronic piece of mine that constitutes manipulated sounds of people's busy days and the transportation we take to get there. 

Time and Travels

The primary idea behind this piece was to work with slow moving sounds and lengthening sound files to create more of a continuous, molasses, type of piece.
