Album Notes

Look at Me (when i talk to you) is a multi-movement work created in collaboration with choreographer Lynn Neuman for Artichoke Dance.

In early 2005, choreographer Lynn Neuman approached me to provide music for a new work to be performed by Artichoke Dance company. The work delves into the nature of inter-personal relationships, especially at the nexus of critical/cathartic moments. Being at a comparable juncture regarding my relationship to composition, I thought the collaboration with Lynn would be a fruitful one.

For the past number of years I have been working primarily writing scores for live performers. Whilst I will continue to do so, I have been re-evaluating my work with regards to creating "pure" electronic music - something I had stopped doing in the mid-90's - specifically electronica or dance music.

The current work is a departure for me in the sense that I am combining various techniques of sound design/production and the generation of musical material with newer computer-based technology, while applying the more traditional tools and processes of composition to these techniques. The musical goal is to create work that is a synthesis of electronic and "acoustic" (sample-based) sound, presenting a hybridization of electronic and popular styles with forms derived and extended from the realm of "classical" music, for lack of a better term.
