My pieces for ensemble range from trios to big bands. I conduct using hand symbols, visual cues, interactive strategies, and screens. I use traditional music notation and abstract graphic notation, often combined.

Composed of a singular, repeated rhythmic phrase that is virtually un-notatable. Its nuance exists in the cracks of delineated beats in a measure. The phrase has a melodic shape, but has no determinate pitch, clef, key, nor register — all interpreted by individual performers. AdENDDA is notated on a six-line staff to further destabilize a conventional reading of pitches and intervals.
