60×60 composition in the “Midwest Mix”!Posted by admin on October 13th, 2008

I am pleased to announce that my 60 second composition was chosen as part of the Midwest Mix for 2008, and will be performed at the EMM festival this week along with the other 59 selections in succession.
Here is the 60 second piece:  “Glass Elevators”

My program notes:  “Glass Elevators” uses a sample taken on a hotel elevator in Chicago to create a simultaneous feeling of whimsy and dread.  The tone of light flair represents our everyday interactions that surprise us and brighten our lives.  The underlying dread signifies the part of our subconscious that is aware of the possibility of a sudden and unexpected danger that may exist at any moment.  This piece explores this increasingly acute sense of danger, and the ways we attempt to subdue that fear.
