American Contemplative - an alchemy of choral and chamber compositions, both traditional and experimental.
Bio / Background
COMPOSER STATEMENT
'I Am Sound' begins with the heartbeat of my first child (recorded while still in my wife Hannah's womb), concludes with a sound-art experiment in wine glass clinking, and is fleshed inbetween with a body of twelve thoroughly tonal compositions.
I call my style "American Contemplative". I worked with a variety of instruments, rhythms, sonorities, and forms to strive for a introspective feeling open and aware to an electric life. To all of the musicians and engineers who participated in this album over the several months of its production, I sing 'thank you'.
My ongoing intention as a composer is to fashion integral artistic statements informed by a panoply of traditional, contemporary, and experimental music from around the planet, yet in a manner distinctly rooted in my experience in the American tradition.
