Doomed

Sat, 09/08/2012 - 11:21am -- Dav

My submission to 60x60 in 2012. This composition builds a complex beat one layer at time. The title is a reference to the supposed apocalypse coming at the end of 2012.

Survival Machine

Tue, 09/04/2012 - 5:47pm -- Dav

Commissioned by Dr. Susan Fisher at OSU for her biology course, this piece used Max/MSP to generate music based on DNA segments. The music does not have a one-to-one correspondence with segments of the DNA code, instead it will use the process of DNA translation as a metaphor for the compositional process.

A Visit From Mr Jones

Tue, 09/04/2012 - 3:22pm -- Dav

Another electro-acoustic collage from my time at Western Michigan University. Even though I'm not posting the audio, it's worth noting this piece (which is built from samples of Spike Jone's and His City Slickers) was a half-hearted effort at electronic music. For whatever reason, I resisted working in this medium for a long time. It's funny to me now since most of what I compose is electronic music.

Tempus Fugit

Tue, 09/04/2012 - 1:57pm -- Dav

In late 2009 I was invited to create music for a dance concert at Brooklyn College that was to be a part of their Biannual International Electroacoustic Music Festival. The choreographers (B. Artis Smith and Germaine Salsberg) were creating a series of short pieces inspired by different birds. I created music for Raven and Mockingbirds. Here are the original descriptions of what they were looking for:

Voices From Salem, MA: 1692

Mon, 09/03/2012 - 12:02am -- Dav

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.

Fragments of Figments (Elucidated)

Fri, 08/31/2012 - 9:07am -- Dav

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.

Triage: Part 1

Thu, 08/30/2012 - 11:49am -- Dav

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.
