My first ever electro-acoustic composition. I recorded some friends reading texts relating to the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692. Then I manipulated the voices to create a sound collage. Looking back on it, the whole piece was pretty basic, and is full of the usual things that students do in their early electronic compositions ('wow, playing voices backwards is so cool...')
No, you can't hear it.

Formerly titled Lifedance, this soundtrack for dance by Amiti Perry (OSU Department of Dance) explores interpretation of one's life experiences as dance. Each performer in the company has created movements relating events from their own lives, which Amiti incorporated into the larger whole. The music parallels this concept by taking existing songs and sounds in some way significant, cutting them apart, and reassembling the pieces into a soundtrack collage.
This is an electronic score to accompany dance by choreographer/video artist Ashley A. Friend. The score is played back through Max/MSP so that it can move from section to section with the dancers in real time. The dance was created as a way for Ashley to deal with her own experiences with epilepsy. Visually she draws inspiration from many sources, including many classic horror movie motifs. The sounds and music used in the score are taken from a variety of sources, cut apart, mutated, and carefully sewn together à la Frankenstein’s monster.
Part dance, part theater, part history lesson, part movie, part story, and part video game, Abandoned Revolution is not your average dance piece. When Boris Willis approached me about creating an original score I knew that the music had to be special. To that end I chose to create the entire score using a vintage Nintendo Game Boy and Nanoloop, a loop sequencer programmed for the Game Boy by Oliver Wittchow.
