Last summer the Unheard-of//Ensemble played my piece, Untitled No. 1* at their Collaborative Composition Initiative festival. At that point it was really only a sketch/work-in-progress, which I continued working on later that year and early this year. This past June they recorded the updated version in Brooklyn. 
*I composed the initial sketches during lockdown in NYC and barely had the creative juices to compose this piece, let alone give it a proper name, hence the non-title!!

Unheard-of//Ensemble is:
Ford Fourqurean, bass clarinet
Daniel Anastasio, piano
Matheus Souza, violin
Issei Herr, cello

Untitled Nº 1

A short musique concrète piece I put together at The Walden School's 2017 Creative Musician's Retreat in Dublin, NH. All the prerecorded sounds are originally acoustic sounds from various string and brass instruments, as well as chorus.
