  • Dreams Unwind, for piano and live, interactive electronics was composed for pianist Keith Kirchoff as part of the 2016 SPLICE summer institute. This piece is a reflection on feelings of disillusionment, and how things may have diverged from the path we thought we were walking. Never really finding resolution, the piece walks the line between hopeful optimism and mocking contempt, leaving us with the feeling of looking towards an uncertain future.

  • This piece uses a normal midi capable keyboard, then rescales the input to 40 pitches per octave. For the ease of the performer, standard notation is used as a kind of tablature; the written note corresponds to how it’s played rather than how it sounds.

  • Written shortly after the congressional hearing regarding Planned Parenthood in September 2015, this work seeks to address the concept of duality while denaturing the toxic rhetoric that has dominated our political landscape. The audio samples used are from the hearing, and changes in the electronics are triggered by pitch input from a contact microphone attached to the oboe–no intervention on the part of the performer is required.

  • First compositions using the Dartmouth Digital Synthesizer composed at the Thayer School of Engineering.
