Pictures on Silence premiered Plunge, for harp, alto sax, and electronics, on Friday, Nov. 12th. Jacky and Noah did a fantastic job with this, and I’m really happy to share this recording from the performance. Their gentle pacing and plaintive lyricism is exactly what I was looking for:

If you’re in the Boston area on Friday, Dec. 11th, come check out the world premiere of a new arrangement of And They Sing This, for Bb clarinet and electronics. The piece was selected by the Boston New Music Initiative from a call for scores. Written last spring for oboeist Emily Madsen, And They Sing This uses recordings I made in India around Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi, interviews I conducted with my great-uncle before just before he died, and a delay patch on the live performer. This new version for Clarinet will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 11th at Lilypad in Cambridge, MA (tix $10), along with pieces by Jason Bolte, Kyong Mee Choi, John Gibson, Moon Young Ha, Jeff Herriott, Mary Kouyoumdjian, and Kirsten Volness.
