Friday, November 22nd I am thrilled to debut a major new work entitled "No house on fire, no." Scored for 5 musicians (flute, viola, double bass, saxophone, mixed piano/voice) the piece was commissioned by the outstanding performance ensemble Kin of the Moon. This 30 minute work was nearly 1.5 years in the making, and Friday will be our premier.

No house on fire, no. is sonically reflective of natural landscapes and a mediation on a poem by Alaska native poet Joan Naviyuk Kane. You will hear sounds of wind brushing against open fields of grass, breath tightly pushed and pulled from the chest, rhythms hewn from phonetic text painting, and dynamic melodies using tempered and non-tempered tunings. Every musician is asked to use virtuosic techniques on their instrument, with the score consisting of graphic material I developed specifically for this ensemble.
