An exploration in color and texture.
Brass, percussion, and electronic instruments in particular leave a vast universe of timbres to explore. One of the mediums I most often choose to explore these soundscapes with is the wind ensemble, with its large and variable instrumentation. Another medium I like to explore is the combination of live instruments with electronic elements. The nature of the electronic medium affords infinite possibilities of color and varieties of presentation, from fixed media to live interactive media. Two other mediums that I have often explored include chamber music for trumpet ensemble and for brass quintet. Both are made up of brass instruments which can utilize a vast array of colors simply by use of various mutes to alter the sound of the instrument.
