Total duration: ca. 7 minutes Instrumentation: viola and cello This is a score in C
Program Notes
Global climate change is often associated with the severe devastation experienced by other countries over the last decade, from catastrophic fooding and landslides to debilitating drought. Living in New York City, I've had the privilege of feeling personally sheltered from these impacts. Yet, nature's fury spares no one. Even in Queens, NY, my home for the past ffteen years, climate change is now a palpable danger. Flooding routinely cripples our neighborhoods, subway system, and sewage infrastructure, and each year brings new record-high foods claiming more lives, usually directly in people's homes. The encroachment of rising sea levels on NYC real estate is a grim inevitability. Mother nature is enraged, and her lifeblood—water—threatens to drown us.
Dedicated to those who have suffered catastrophic loss from a major weather disaster, this composition follows an emotional arc that begins immediately after the loss and traces the stages of grief. The work simultaneously refects the loss of environmental stability through increasingly dissonant intervals between the two voices and incorporates a variety of unpredictable, chaotic- sounding improvised techniques—such as col legno, pitchless ricochet hits, glissandi, and overpressure—to depict the resulting chaos and profound loss.

The Fear (2019) for string quartet
Score and parts digital download
The Fear is not a "pretty" piece. It uses many techniques that horror movie composers use including ponticello, random uncoordinated pitches, slides in dissonant intervals, and extreme dynamic changes. My inspiration for the piece came from moments in my life when I felt a fear of others. This could be a subtle social anxiety to an actual feeling of physical danger. These feelings, in my experience, always originate from my insecurities with myself and my fear of rejection from others. If left unexamined or unexpressed they can lead to miscommunications and prejudices against others. Growing up, this was not discussed in my family, my peer groups, or within classrooms. My hope is this piece will serve as a medium to express these feelings of fear through the sound of music. Because there are so many moments in this piece where the notation indicates choice or independence from the section, players should feel empowered to make their own unique sounds as part of a larger team. The composite will be brilliant horrifying!
Time Capsule (2021)
Score and parts digital download
In October, 2021, my writing of this piece and my performing with the great pianist Hiromi intersected in a beautiful way. I was inspired by her use of accents and displaced strong beats to create a sense of rhythmic clarity or confusion, and her ability to span different harmonic spectrums including bright/dark, rich/simple, and jagged/smooth, all of which were delivered in a way that I found to be accessible in real time.
This piece was whittled down from a cloud of many ideas and sketches that came to me unusually quickly and easily during this time of inspiration. The challenge was to unify the remaining ideas in the first and second halves, which I attempted through rhythmic displacement and accents that imply poly-meter time feels. The piece's basic instructions are easily adaptable to many musical interpretations, styles, and moods.
I congratulate the members of Catalyst Quartet for celebrating their 10 years together, a massive accomplishment for any quartet, and I thank them for giving me reason to create this work, of which I am quite proud.
