Some music I did for Customary Radicals for their original play thats was performed during the New York Fringe Festival 2015.

Old Haunts:
Old Haunts tells the story of Mark Robbins, a Colorado native, who returns to his hometown after his first semester at Columbia and is forced to confront the relationships he's left on the rocks and the future he's left hanging on the line.

Old Haunts

The idea behind the composition was to create unintentional polyrhythms. This was accomplished by creating my own metronome. I would record myself for around 6 minutes hitting a cowbell. I knew that I would not keep in time which was what I wanted to happen. I then wrote short phrases for a plethora of different instruments, mainly percussive so that I could create rhythmic piece of music. After this I invited other instrumentalists into the studio to play the phrases along with the click as best they could. I asked them to pay close attention to the Metronome and for them to play as close to it as they could but not panic if they went wrong and to carry on.
The polyrhythms that were then created from these recordings were now my starting point for my actual composition. I found some loops within these recordings that were in time as best as I could. I then began to arrange these to recreate the rhythms found in the original recordings.

The piece transitions from a rhythmic section to a more loose and ambient section. Because of this I found that It sounded like a journey from Earth to Space. This is the reason I named the piece after the  Kármán line.
