Recordings of several new versions of A is for Azimuth and Arnica— my 2007 work commissioned by Chris Froh, for found objects and found texts — are now available.  The score is designed to shape itself differently in every performance, and in the coming year, Albany Records will feature a disk with five different interpretations, including two interpretations by Froh, and others by percussionists Ian Antonio, Russell Greenberg, and Aiyun Huang.

Take a look at extraordinary video recordings of Ian Antonio and Russell Greenberg playing Mediations, Tenors, or Jacob Rhodebeck playing “Fors Seulement…” fors seulement condition, and Coda: “You Are Not I” . All were produced and edited by documentarian Ashley Aron Craig with the gracious assistance of Shelly Errington.

On March 26th, 2009, the Music Performance Program at Columbia University presented a full concert of my music in an dynamic and innovative concert at Philosophy Hall. New York piano and percussion quartet Yarn/Wire led the evening with several works, including Anahistoric, with CORE Ensemble’s Katie Schlaikjer as cello soloist. Guests included Dr. Rhonda Taylor of New Mexico State University, trumpeter Glen Whitehead of University of Colorado, and American/Spanish contrabassist/critic Christopher Williams. 

I’m very pleased to announce that Centaur Records will be releasing Pieces, Threaded: Piano Music 1999-2009, a retrospective collection of my piano music, as part of its distinguished catalog of new music for piano. I perform the title tracks in the “Pieces, Threaded” triptych, joined by Jacob Rhodebeck and John Mark Harris on four other works.
