about

Four Pieces for mixed quintet (2015)
I streets
II fresco
III chaconne
IV graffiti/murmur/drift

As time passes I find myself more and more interested in unpredictable forms. Ideally I want my pieces to be journeys to get lost in, with strange surprises and a kind of magical logic tying things together into a satisfying whole. Composing ‘Four Pieces’ was a balancing dance around a few solid themes, a few basic motives, and a few abstract ideas. ‘streets’ plays with shifting textures and tonal centers. ‘fresco’ is an exploration of sonority and timbre. ‘chaconne’ is a simple variations conceived on the electric piano. The last movement is a triptych of contrasting panels: a feisty chase; a mechanical meditation; and a roadside reverie. Four Pieces was composed for the Bellingham Chamber Music Society and premiered at MakeShift art space in Bellingham.

Recorded at Western Washington University in 2016. Kimberly Breilein, flute; Pat Nelson, bassoon; Laura Speck Camacho, violin; Thom Mayes, double bass; Milica Jelača Jovanović, electric piano; Melanie Sehman, conductor; Joshua Shade, engineer.
