PROGRAM NOTES
String Quartet No. 3 consists of five movements that explore “other voices,” either literally or figuratively. In a literal sense, this could mean speaking or singing in a way that is not considered normal or even out of one’s control. It could also mean speaking differently for a desired effect. Figuratively, “other voices” could mean a voice that is not one’s own. All five movements touch on these definitions in one way or another.

The first movement, Twist and Shout, uses musical patterns that sound like stuttering or someone who has a severe form of Tourette’s Syndrome. I use these sounds as a technical point of departure, incorporating jagged rhythms, erratic melodic patterns, and sudden volume shifts throughout the movement.

The second movement is entitled Poet Voice, and uses this style of reciting poems as a point of departure. In particular, this movement is based on a video of Louise Glück reading her poem “The Wild Iris,” which is included in a book of poems of the same name for which Glück won the Pulitzer Prize. Glück’s poem compares human suffering and finding a voice to the growth of a wild iris that makes a “passage from the other world” underground, despite the difficulty of breaking through. In the image of the wild iris, the explosion of color symbolizes new life. In this movement, I mimic Glück’s speech patterns and structure the movement around the sound of her voice and the content of her poem, essentially giving new life to her poetic reading. 

The third movement, Auction Chant, is inspired by North American auctioneering, which is a rapid-fire, rhythmic repetition of numbers and “filler words” spoken by auctioneers in the process of conducting an auction. This movement is also inspired by country fiddle music, which is a type of music often played in areas where auctioneering takes place.

In the fourth movement, Effects Pedal, I mimic sounds made by electronic effects pedals—and in particular, a vocal effects pedal, but without the use of actual electronic effects on the stringed instruments. I also use musical effects that sound somewhat like swallowing helium, which raises your voice when you inhale it, or sulfur hexafluoride, which lowers it.

The final movement is entitled Anthem. In this patriotic-sounding, yet slightly humorous movement, I weave together various sports themes and state songs from around the United States that are used to rile up fans at sports games.

String Quartet No. 3 was commissioned by The Indianapolis Quartet.

String Quartet No. 3 - II. Poet Voice

Music for everyone, music for others. A life against the current. No genre in music! It is too simplistic to give a genre to everything!! Music is an expression of human emotions and it is necessary to learn to understand humanity in its complexity.

DNB Archives: Volume 1
Independent Drum & Bass, Unfiltered.

Top G Records proudly presents DNB Archives: Volume 1 — a cross-border compilation featuring some of the rawest, realest independent DnB talent from the USA, UK, and Canada.

This is our answer to the mainstream noise.

Born from a love of underground culture and a frustration with the oversaturation of major label playlists, this project brings together a diverse line-up of producers and labels who are building the future of drum and bass outside the algorithm.

We wanted to create something like Now That’s What I Call Music — but for independent DnB only. No filler. No compromises. Just the very best of what the underground has to offer:
🔥 Rollers
🌊 Liquid
🌪️ Tearout
🌌 Deep tech
🌿 Jungle-infused vibes

Each track was handpicked to represent a different flavour of the scene, united by one mission:

To give a proper platform to the artists pushing boundaries from the shadows.

🎧 Why You Won’t Find This on Streaming:
This is a download-only release — exclusive to those who truly support the culture. No Spotify. No middlemen. Just direct-to-fan, just like it used to be.

Whether you're a DJ, a collector, or a day-one DnB head, this is for you.

Volume 1 is just the beginning.
Archive it. Share it. Play it loud.
Independent DnB deserves its spotlight.

“I don't remember my dreams too much. I hardly have ever gotten ideas from nighttime dreams. But I love daydreaming and dream logic and the way dreams go” - David Lynch
​
I love to express stories through music and explore the visceral space that surrounds them. Sometimes I’m interested in creating sound collages, or tapestries of sound that are varied in their nature but unified in their aesthetic aim. Other times I surrender to something lyrical. Most of the time, I feel compelled to make sense of the world, which is impossible. But, after some work, which includes frustration, and occasional eureka moments, I find deep meaning and satisfaction in my music, especially as I near the finish line and embark on a collaborative journey with fellow creatives.
