Come Una Guerra Dentro

November Mist (Respirando Una Fitta Nebbia...)

Variations 5, 8, and 9 on a Theme by Stefan Wolpe.

Koeun Grace Lee, Piano

Three Wolpe Variations

Please enjoy “Incantation II,” the seventh piece from my new album “NetWorks 11: Unfamiliar Order.” 

NetWorks is a music-generating algorithm that seeks to tap into the ceaseless creativity, and organic coherence, found in nature through fine-tuning the connectivity of networks, which channels how information flows through them, and the rules that modify the information as it interacts via their nodes.

Constraints on the connections and interactions between the parts of systems are central to their coherence. Alicia Juarrero in her book, Context Changes Everything writes: “Coherence-making by constraints takes place in physical and biological complex systems small and large, from Bénard cells to human organizations and institutions, from family units to entire cultures. Entities and events in economic and ecosystems are defined by such covarying relations generated by enabling constraints.”

“Incantation II” consists of eight interacting voices. Voices can interact such that, for example, the depth of vibrato performed by one voice can influence the timbral characteristics and movement through 3D (ambisonic) space of a note played by another voice.

Headphone listening is recommended as the piece was mixed using ambisonic techniques.

Incantation II

A cyclical reworking of an older set of piano works.

Kusama Preludes for Piano and Viola

The last in a series of chamber works for viola and piano. As with most of my twelve-tone works 'Nocturne' demonstrates my love for my favorite composer of the Second Viennese School, Alban Berg.

Nocturnes for Viola and Piano

Life is order and chaos.

Nocturne for electronics. Pin pricks of sound cascade to the Earth against a crystal clear bejeweled night sky.

Stars Falling

Another venture into the sound-world of atomization. This work endeavors to present a narrative of sorts with its contrasting material and by its rondo form.

Virtual Particles Nr 2

Insul

Stormy - Una lunga tempesta estiva

Composer, educator and interactive media artist and professional dedicated to creativity and multidisciplinary collaboration. Interested in constructionist approaches to new media education and how interactive technologies and complexity theory enhance and expand the creative process in the traditional arts, new media and game design.

Developed NetWorks, a body of musical work as well as an interactive music-generating algorithm based on scale-free networks. Developer of ~zomes, a sound synthesizer based on a-life models. 

Interest in metacreation dates back to Voices From The Edge of Chaos (1998), a CD of emergent, self–organizing computer music. Received a FACTOR international distribution grant and was subsequently awarded a residency at Lovebytes Labs in Sheffield, England (1999), to produce a piece for Digital Space CD and CD ROM of “innovative new work using digital sound and multimedia”.
