A study using only two Moog instruments.  (And a touch of reverb and delay)

Project 2

The composing/practicing for my new album is almost done.  Here is just a short demo I recorded today while working on some of the pieces.  This is from what would be the single of my album...if this type of music had singles. 

New Solo Viola Album Demo

Amongst all of my many musical tastes & projects, this is one of them.  Under heavy influence of the electronic scene in Boston & beyond, this is my take on some improvised electronic music. I'll be doing this type of thing at certain shows coming up soon.  

Samples used: (in order) William Duckworth's "Time Curve Preludes" performed by R. Andrew Lee on Irritable Hedgehog Records, Linda Hopkins interview, Al Sharpton versus the teleprompter (via Washington Free Beacon) and Bill Frisell's "Egg Radio" on "Gone, Just Like A Train." 

Experimental Electronic Example

I find current and political affairs inevitably working their way into my music more and more...this would be an example.  The war in Ukraine seems to me very unnecessary, and it pains me greatly to see so many innocent people dying as a result of.  Some of the absolute greatest people I've met are from Ukraine. While exploring the sonic capabilities of my new synth (moog) and thinking about the tragedies in Ukraine, this piece started to take form.  This is a working draft.

Imaginary Landscape 5

Various ideas from contemporary composer & musician Matt Scutchfield.  An instrumentalist on over 20 instruments, he plays almost as many genres.  Though steeped in traditional fiddle music and bluegrass, Matt is currently working on post-modern and new complexity compositions.  Matt performs solo as well as with cellist Łukasz Pawlikowski.
