"Are we on the same page?" is a fun and comedic piece where two pianists sit down and begin to play a duet. Frustration quickly builds as the mismatched players struggle to play in sync. One is determined to play to perfection while the other frequently makes mistakes. 

Live recording performed by David Wickham and Joe Ryan

Are we on the same page?

You Still Believe In No One Demo

Musical Poem for Philip Glass

The Melody of Just Say These Words (Philip Glass)
by Bob Holman

staff holds pitch in space
not sound
Moondance on wall a canon but where to come in?
under the lined
Paper is a piano somewhere a piano

This has a space
for synthesizer Meaning you say it and the you write
it down wait a minute someone at the door pregnant
Structurally turns the lines to live Chuck used to
graph Like a sign painter, the glops were signs you'd step
back

To hear the painting Did I 
actually say hear the painting?
Music paper is graph
augenmusik, eye-music, I never
Went that way
(hands over paper full of delicious sky)

/
really you can not be ready
"Did you hear that?" he asked
cautiously pouring
the moonlight back into the piano


Glass Poem

This is the backing audio track to accompany a horn trio for my indeterminate piece titled 'Durations I'. I have uploaded this here not so much to accompany a blog post about the piece which can be found here.
