I just had a root canal, so I can feel the pain, but my blue tooth speaker can barely reproduce the piccolo.

Made with an 0-coast and a CV quantizer and a delay module

EXTRACTION ON NO. 9 (2013) for large symphonic wind ensemble, a consortium commission from a dozen US bands.

This performance:
BUTLER UNIVERSITY WIND ENSEMBLE
Cond. by Robert Grechesky

Indianapolis, IN  USA
May 2014

No. 9 is the front tooth. Inspired by (and dedicated to) my son Paddy who, in 2003, as a senior on the varsity basketball team at JFK High School in NY, went up for a layup / dunk, was fouled (flagrant!) from behind and smashed face-first onto the hardwood floor. Both his front teeth (No. 8 and No. 9) went flying out of his head, leaving two jagged stumps, a giant bloody mess and 9 yrs of reconstructive orthodontic nightmares.

The relentless 'highest note possible' ffffff piccolo part (beginning @ 1:00) is the whir of the dentist drill. There are a few strategically-placed vocal screams ... and the percussion section, in addition to a huge battery of all kinds of banging things, uses multiple electric drills and a chainsaw.

FEAR STRIKES OUT (2015)

XANADU was commissioned by The Florida State University College of Music for the grand reopening of the Ruby Diamond Concert Hall and the 100th anniversary of the College of Music. XANADU is a work inspired by the 80’s, the era in which the composer attended Florida State University as an undergraduate performance and composition major. Like this composition, the 80’s movie with the same title is inspired by the poem Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The poem was an opium-influenced dream describing a stately palace. This work is influenced by 80’s hip-hop culture, TV themes and other pop culture music of the late 70’s-80’s. The first three notes of the 80’s song Xanadu play an important thematic role in the work. This work also has an optional Turntablist (DJ record scratching) part for the percussion.
