CONSUrebeMPTION The first piece featured on a concert in May entitled "Security?", this work was co-conceived by two music friends of mine, Christopher Jette & Rachel Wandrei and a visual artist. The work is based around the premise of beer advertising. The clip has not been edited so you'll have to sit through a good 5 minutes of intro material, but then the piece kicks off with some off the wall sounds and stunning visuals which are projected onto Ms. Wandrei like the insidious reflection from a TV screen. Digital   WHOA A jump-up drum and bass track with a very jungle-like sound, this track is made up of a constant vocal yelling "Whoa" throughout and accompanied by an abrasive scratch sound and further held up by a smooth sub-bass line which has a kind of extreme portamento fall following each attack. This all changes, however, with the entrance of a dirty alarm-like sound which forces a  heavy second drop before the track returns to the main theme. By The Warm Fire A downtempo track with an old-fashioned string-like timbre further punctuated by a sub-bass line that oscillates back and forth between two pitches for much of the track. The drums which make an entrance soon after the track begins goes through several different feel changes and slowly degrades in timbre becoming dirtier and more abrasive. Atmospheres An ambient track made up of several smoothly modeled timbres weaving back and forth throughout the track. Meanwhile, a lo-fi hiss slowly moves in and out of the foreground until it finally envelopes everything and all that remains is subtle noise. The Messiah A dark hardcore drum & bass track bearing no relation to the Konflict track, this tune exploits a sample actually aquired from the tune "Once Upon the Cross" written by the death metal group Deicide. This track is fueled by an extremely distorted bass line whose LFO driven pulse joins the more hardcore styled breaks for a full frontal assault. The Barong Remix: A Nu Text A sample-based "cut & paste" work that circumscribes Balinese gamelan within Drum & Bass parameters. The soundbite used in the track is from an interview with DJ Spooky in which Spooky comments on DJing as an artform for self-expression. He highlights the DJ's mastery of taking pre-existing material and creating something new with it, a concept which was fully utilized in the production of this track. FTPQ Based around a line spoken by Sean Connery in the film "The Rock", this tune is built around two very different bass lines, one grimey and noisy, the other growling and smooth. The pulse is maintained and embellished throughout by mid-tempo, IDM-like breakz and flavored by constant twists and turns in the overall form. Analog Conglomerate Fragments A work for solo piano which explores the juxtapositions of jazz and classical pianistic colloquialisms, this early work thrives from its constant exchange of pulse (straight/swing) and texture (sparse/dense). Cultural Dis-Ease A work for chamber orchestra that deals with tone-color modulation (the changing from one timbre to another over a fixed pitch) both through interuption by other instruments and "cross-fading" between instruments. Starting out with an enigmatic aura the piece wastes no time in building into an all out sonic blitz. A Microtonal Tapestry for Chad A piece for pre-programmed microtonal keyboard, "Microtonal Tapestry" was written using several different irregular tunings which facilitate sonorities not otherwise possible on a keyboard instrument. The work combines cascading microtonal sonorities with cells of fixed pitches which are then displayed in a seemingly random sequence. Reciprocity -Live Performance at Forsyth Chapel- A piece for three low female voices which is based around the vowel and consonant deconstruction of the phrase "Uniform, Monotony, Static - terms for simplifying a complex existence". The phonetic particles generated  from this deconstruction are then recombined in juxtapositions which generate very interesting, sometimes haunting layers of sound. This coupled with exploiting the idiosyncracies of vocal production constitutes a very different way of writing for voice. Interested in remixing or sampling?
