My music is deeply personal and intimate while exploring the concept of time and
space and highlighting transformations of timbre, texture and varying levels of resonance; spectral harmonies; ornamentation;
and micro- and macro-gestures on the surface and within the structure of the music.
The sound world within
which I work ranges from silence to the fragility of barely audible, whispering, pure, resonant and complex timbres; smooth
and sustained to fluctuating, active or rough textures; trilled, tremolando and grace note ornamentation types; glissandi,
intertwining, angular, cascading and sustained gestures; and extended, hocketed, dovetailed, hyper-instrumental and conglomerate
orchestrational techniques.
I do not conceptualize these materials
as mere decoration in my work; but rather as states through which sound evolves on both local and global levels. Further,
the treatment of these components—the
modulation each aspect undergoes—is paramount to the resulting form, sequence and proportional duration of musical
events. As a result, form is generated through process: domains organically evolve spawned by the intersection of two or more
permutations simultaneously occurring. It is through this that I create a strong sense of expression and dramatic intensity.
