"Daddy" is an electronic piece written in 2009 for the 60x60 project.  It is fourth in a series based on the growth and development of the composer’s four-year-old daughter Julia.  (The first three: "Gerburt von Julia,", "Julia Lernt das ABC," and "Julia’a Gonna Count").  The work contains one sample of Julia chopped into several different fragments, which are manipulated in real-time utilizing delay and stereo panning.   The piece is inspired by Steve Reich’s works utilizing sampling and beat displacements.  The piece represents Julia’s curiosity in her father’s compositional process.  (The last or “second” sample was accidentally recorded during another project.)
