This is a 12-movement collection of pieces for solo piano. Each piece explores a different one of the twelve possible three-note combinations that exist on a piano (according to set theory). Each one was written more or less in one sitting during vacations or on significant dates or in significant locations (to me). More info including a PDF of the score can be found at http://www.patmuchmore.com/Works/FrIIIa-l.html.

This is a piece for live solo cello and pre-recorded electronics.The electronics were created using a variety of programs, including the "visual synthesizer" MetaSynth, GoldWave and ProTools. All sounds are manipulated cello recordings, nothing was added other than effects.

PortRait of the ArTist,**NYC2001

This is a piece for live piano and pre-recorded electronics.  The electronic part was generated using some manipulated live piano sounds, some manipulated MIDI piano sounds, MetaSynth filtering and sampling and Csound (especially the excellent comb filter in the latter).  Although a lot of my PortRait pieces deal with the collision of humanity and mechanicity, this piece is especially informed by it.

This is a performance by Andie Tanning (violin) and James Moore (resonator guitar) of all but one movement of Fr.XVI.a–g. Each fragment is based on the same 12-tone row (except for the first one), and the two movements written in Amsterdam use quarter-tone tuning in the guitar.

This is my "techno album" from 2001.  It was composed almost exclusively in the ReBirth virtual synthesizer by Propellerheads.  The title is pronounced "centonate" - a term which is used most often in discussions of Gregorian chant. Chant texts and melodies are often patchworks of traditional sources, compiled and coagulated by the composer.  Various musical translations of that technique are the norm on this record as well.  A warning: the final track contains a sample with dirty lyrics, which is hopefully appropriate given the title.

This is a live performance of my piece for solo cello with effects pedals. There are no pre-recorded sounds, laptops or loop pedals (although there is some creative use of a delay pedal), everything is completely live. Pedals used: delay, distortion, compression, wah-wah, whammy pedal, volume pedal.

PortRaitS_4&five,**NYC'04

My latest string quartet, written for Anti-Social Music's Anti-Phonal Concert. The four players (Jean Cook and Hubert Chen, violins; Judith Insell, viola; and Pat Muchmore, cello) are seated around the audience with Violin I and Cello on the front corners and Violin II and Viola behind them. Definitely hugely inspired by my recent listening to Sofia Gubaidulina and Gloria Coates.
