Something New for Piano

An old cover from a few years ago with LOTS of reverb!
I sang this song at my dad's wedding in 2014.

For My Wedding - Don Henley Cover

This was a project I completed for my music technology class. It's composed with analog sounds from a Moog Mother 32 synthesizer and digital sounds from Logic Pro X.

Everlocus - MUSC 239 Project

This was a musique concréte piece for my music technology class last year. It represents a technological downfall. We are often so distracted and engrossed in our phones, and society is getting louder because of it. I recorded the marimba ringtone, since it is such a common sound and then layered it 9 times, since there are 9 generations of the iPhone. As time goes on, it starts to fall apart and eventually takes you into a technological limbo after the iPhone dies. At the end, life still goes on without in iPhone and the world is quiet again. Enjoy!

Death Of The iPhone

*Must listen with high-quality headphones*
This was an experiment with binaural sound mixing - a musique concreté soundscape with the intentions to immerse the listener into an aural disarray.  Recorded sounds include: zippers, scissors, an old snare drum head, and a metal cabinet

Zip 'N Cut

Electrosse was written in attempt to take the listener on an extra-wordly journey through a combination of fixed digitally synthesized sounds and live elements. It was originally mixed for a quadrophonic speaker layout to immerse the listener into an ambient atmosphere, while the instrumentalist played in the middle of the room. In the premiere of this piece, the harp heard from 2:20-3:10 and 4:10-end was performed by a live pianist. The incorporation of a live performer served as a juxtaposition to the arhythmic and chaotic electronic soundscape.
