Winner of Alia Musica's Call for Scores 2019
Performed by andPlay
Maya Bennardo - Violin, Hannah Levinson - viola
Recorded live at James Simon's Sculpture Studio in Pittsburgh, PA 04-18-2019

The space this was recorded in was extremely noisy with extra sounds from birds, dogs, sirens, and neighbors. Somehow it works with this performance.

Recorded live at New Music On The Point, VT 06-15-2018

Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them

03 Recorded Ruins
Commissioned by Stephen Drury and The Callithumpian Consort
First prize winner of the 2018 Untwelve microtonal composition competition.

Performed by The Callithumpian Consort: Xenia Deviatkina-Loh - violin, Stephen Marotto - cello, Emmalie Tello - bass clarinet, Chris Moore - Trombone, Dorothy Chan - Piano and sound exciters, Jeffrey Means - conductor.
Recorded live at New England Conservatory, Boston, MA 06-22-2018
