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.

I had a very nice tour with Flutronics November 5-8 in Silkeborg, Holbæk and Ribe (Denmark). Marianne Leth performed my piece WARNING: Flute at Large brilliantly, and the audiences were enthusiastic. It was music for flute electronics with video by Jacob Nielsen, and some great costumes!
