University of Ottawa Performance

The CreatorSpace performance turned out to be a fun small gathering in a new space for electronic music in the Isabel Firestone library. They’ve got some nice synths, a MIDI-equipped Godin guitar, a Native Instruments Maschine, and a Theremin. I played a couple of new pieces Randomly and S(h)immer along with Broken Refraction with my guitar/laptop setup. Afterwards, they opened things up for people to jam with the gear, which turned into a straightforwardly rhythmic and energetic funk jam. I’m looking forward to playing these pieces again at Clark in a couple of weeks.

Upcoming Premieres

I have dates for some spring concerts.

Songs of Friction (flute/clarinet/violin/cello) will be performed by Hub New Music at Clark on Feb 4 at the end of their residence. It’s a largely atonal work incorporating wind multiphonics and tempo modulation; mostly written in a Ryerson dorm during Congress 2017.

I will also give a solo lecture-recital, focusing on my interactive guitar/laptop music, at Clark on Mar 28 at 1:30. At least one new piece will be premiered, probably a couple, depending on how Christmas break goes.
