This piece was written for the flute players of Duo Zhonda, at Charlotte New Music Festival 2017. Music commonly thought of as lost and forgetful could have a variety of attributes. With an erratic nature, the music can be hasty, jumping from place to place in panic. With a monotonous nature, it can be pacing around in a circle wondering where it should go. In this piece, I purposely fade between the two ideas over the entire course of the piece, inversely with both rhythm and pitch. This piece is dedicated to my professor Jody Nagel, who often says, “Symmetry removes one’s ability to orient.” This short piece is an exploration of that idea, and inspired by that very phrase, as 36 is highly composite.

A sincere and heartfelt thanks to Orlando Cela and Wei Zhao for playing this!

Exponentially More Lost And Forgetful (36 - EDO)

These are some of my terrible old songs. New stuff is on my YouTube, including my album A New Dusk. These titles are in Esperanto because I'm autistic or whatever. Everything before "Floroj" is in alphabetical order because it was bulk uploaded, and can actually be as old as May 2014. You might notice that I slowly stop using major scales over time.

Hello, I am a 12 tet and microtonal composer who works at the edge between acoustic and electronic instruments.

My art is about now and is a response to the inspiration I feel from the visual, musical, poetic, and literary art of 20th and 21st centuries as well as world events . The art of our period I think has so much to say about who we are, where we have been, and what we will, or will not be as a community – a world village – a people, a unity of souls divided by the gulf of physical being and monetary inequity but united in spirit, desires, hopes and dreams. My goal is to communicate with you and if what I do speaks to you then I as an artist I have succeeded.
