Cyprus concerts March 2010

In collaboration with Nicolas Deletaille (cello), Philippe Saucez (clarinet), and Dr. Marc Heeg (piano), two new pieces were premiered in a new music festival in Cyprus March 12, 2010. Details of Spaces for clarinet and computer, and Details of Colors for trio (clarinet, cello, piano) and computer were performed for the first time, along with a performance by Nicolas of my work All Numbers Langauge for cello and computers. We also gave a concert of this cello work with video at the EUC in Nicosia.

Spotting 2010

I participated in Spotting 2010 at Københavns Musikteater in January 2010, and did some work on developing a new multimedia stagework with dancer/choreographer Rosa Isaldur, and video artist Chiaki Watanabe. We are looking into venues for future presentations... 

Views from Plato's Cave

We had a great premiere of my composition Views from Plato's Cave, for trombone and computer, performed by Niels-Ole Bo Johansen! The audience was appreciative and one compliment I got was that it reminded of Takamitsu. In composing the work I had drawn a lot of inspiration from, and made references to Berio, Debussy, and Xenakis. :)

It was in a concert in Kammermusiksalen at Musikhuset Aarhus, on Saturday December 5, 2009.

I forgot to take photos at the concert, so I'll just post a little snapshot from the score.
