My Ph.D. was awarded to me by a program called “Integrated Composition, Improvisation, and Technology” (ICIT) at University of California Irvine. This program tends to favor the tools and processes of the musical electronicist / technologist / coder / builder. It also favors instrumentalists and composers of various traditions. 

My thesis focused on abstract, graphic music notation for improvisational music. To satisfy the Technology pilar of this program, i devised an easy system of live broading graphic permutations of a dynamic, progiressive ensemble score, using skills consistent with those employed to create static, non-dynamic scores with Adobe software.
