Missed-Mixed Messages (2014)

Ritual Percussion for two players written in 2013. Influences include Balinese baleganjur music, one of the composer's favorite styles of music to play. "The original purpose of beleganjur was to accompany armies into battle and strike fear into the hearts of the enemy...gamelan beleganjur literally means 'gamelan of walking warriors'". Contemporary beleganjur is associated with cremation ceremonies, festivals, and competitions. 
 This is a recording of a live performance by members of Los Angeles Percussion Quartet Nicholas Terry and Justin Dehart at UC Riverside Culver Center for the Arts on May 28, 2013.

Ritual For Hypatia for Duo Percussion

Odessa is a town in Texas that is home to both a 63,000 year old meteor crater and an almost exact replica of the English megalith, Stonehenge.
The sonic textures Parker builds in Odessa B.(2014)explore the lower ranges of the alto flute and bass clarinet as well as clarinet multiphonics and slap tongue techniques.  As the piece opens, all instruments gradually combine to build rich and unusual sonorities with minimal rhythmic activity, much like the composer's idea of what being in the town of Odessa is really like.  Live improvised stereo-field electronics add further depth to the sonic canvas and could be interpreted to represent the otherworldly forces that created both the crater and the original Stonehenge. The tempo of the piece abruptly speeds up and slows down throughout--giving the listener an uneasy feeling of being lost somewhere in the middle of nowhere--speeding up to move toward a place of recognition only to slow down just as quickly upon the realization of continued unfamiliarity.
This recording features the work's world premiere on May 20, 2014 by SF What's Next? Ensemble at University of California Riverside's Culver Center for the Arts.
