Composition

I composed this short piece in Summer 2019 for Julia Connor (violin), Sarah-Hadley Yakir (violin), Justin Page (cello), and myself (electric guitar). This is my first attempt at writing for an ensemble that is essentially a type of string quartet including electric guitar, inspired by Gavin Bryars and Bill Frisell.

Chamber Music

A Bach movement originally written for flute and harpsichord, arranged for flute and classical guitar by Peter Greenwood and Jean Rosenblum, and finally re-imagined for flute and electric guitar by Annie Darlin Gordon and me.

Composition by Paul Jones (saxophone), with a beautiful solo from Kevin Norton (vibraphone). This ballad makes me think of the music of Thelonious Monk and Wayne Shorter.

Composition by Kevin Norton (drums), with Paul Jones (saxophone). This piece fuses the minimalist and jazz music of the mid to late 1960s by combining groove, drone, melodic cells, and improvisation. This particular version also incorporates digital soundscaping and microtonality.
