Though more samples of my music are probably out there
somewhere, here are a few.
Notes and Shockwave movie for
In God We Trust
In
early 2000, I collaborated with a group of people from
other disciplines (visual art, theater, dance) to create
an evening-length production for which I produced an
electronic score. The notes for the production are found
at the link above, along with a Shockwave movie using a
fragment of the score with some very interesting
visuals. To explore the continuing work of two of my
collaborators, Jo and Paul Zmolek, follow this link.
The Heart Poems song 5
A track from my CD Hard Weather Makes Good Wood,
which includes the entire 7-song cycle called The Heart
Poems. Text is by Ruth Montgomery, my mother-in-law,
who was recovering from open-heart surgery when she created
the poems. Maria Jette is the soprano, with Susan Billmeyer
on piano.
Rising Blue I
Another track from my CD Hard Weather Makes Good
Wood, this one for violin and tape. Troy Gardner is
the violinist. An interlude and second large section which
complete the piece are not included in this sample.
Lecture on Hard Weather Makes Good Wood delivered
at Davidson College on March 18, 2003.

part two
In March, 2003, just after the CD Hard Weather Makes
Good Wood was released, I gave a talk at Davidson
College on the piece for string quartet which lends its
title to the CD. Michael Shaffer of College 500 came up
from Savannah, GA, and recorded the lecture. Many thanks to
College 500 for keeping the video
online.
