about

A few years ago my good friend Jason Bowers gifted me a beautiful book of images simply called, Universe. These striking full page photographs from interstellar and intergalactic space immediately inspired some musical ideas. After deciding I wanted to write and perform these ideas on classical percussion instruments, I laid out sketches for 5 pieces of music. Each piece serves as a mini-soundtrack and directly correlates to a specific image in this book. Moreover, the timbres directly reflect the images and what they represent. All the compositions are performed in real-time while overdubbing on top of the previous takes. My goal was to keep as much of the performance intact with very minimal editing. Rather than manipulate the recorded content, I decided to rely more on extended techniques in recording and performing these pieces. Going one step further, I only allowed myself the use of reverb, EQ, and compression while mixing this music...with a bit of distortion on one concert tom track. My goal was to keep the music as "live" as possible. Headphones recommended. Hope you enjoy.
