Notes

Meditation on Living (2016) \. This work is a meditation, really a meditation on anything. It is a list of actions, mostly in text form, but also with traditional mensural notation. Because of the items involved and their interactions, alongside the use of feedback and localized acoustics, much of the work’s content is highly indeterminate, hence the qualifier of “living.” Nonetheless, the composition has a structure and an internal identity, an essence, that is recognizable/repeatable from performance to performance.
