I made this piece in a single session at Cal Arts one day in the mid 90's and it has been one of those pieces that I feel works through time, perhaps because of it's simplicity. It became part of my thesis project (the image is of the poster from the project). Then, strangely it got picked up by the Amoeba label and added to a double CD they produced highlighting independent musicians.

Breath Piece

I was delighted to be invited to compose a piece for this subversive CD released around the time of the Gulf War titled "Voices in the Wilderness: Dissenting Soundscapes and Songs of G.W.'s America".

Perfecthood Is Going Down

Some years ago, I was invited to compose and record music for a piece for Megan Nicely Dance, a piece titled “Aperature, Breath”, in which, I also performed. Megan is a talented choreographer and an all around gracious and smart human. Thank you Megan, I enjoyed it immensely! Other performers included Liz Boubion, Deborah Karp, Laura Marsh and Leyya Mona Tawil.
