Assemblage #4 (flicker) The 'Assemblage' series is an ongoing experiment in composing for improvisers. Rather than provide a "score" that prescribes sonic material temporally, the composer instead provides a custom collection of technology and found objects with a specific performer in mind. The form and content of the work is embedded in the limitations and affordances of each technological matrix. The performer realizes the work through improvisational play and discovery, developing and cultivating an intimate relationship with the system. In Assemblage #4 (flicker) the performer explores the sonic architecture of resonant glass vessels with a custom feedback matrix and audio-reactive LEDs attached to speakers. All sound comes directly from the small speakers and is shaped by the resonant characteristics of the glass vessels; no additional amplification is used.

"The lily I gave you in April" explores the boundaries of perception between functional (i.e. “sound making”) and symbolic (i.e. “expressive”) musical gestures. The performer uses the Mugic sensor (attached to the hand) to detect and track hand motion while s/he sonically activates the tuning forks in various ways. The data collected from the sensor both triggers and controls live electronic processing.
