• In the Composition performance series, 2006 - ongoing, a field of performing musicians each stands atop their individual amplifier. The musicians are arranged into three bands that play their own composition: songs commissioned especially for each iteration from local composers.

    All three songs have the same musical structure, the same four chords, musical scale, and BPM. At a point in the performance, all three bands play simultaneously. Due to their structural resemblance, a dense-yet not entirely-cacophonous musical field is formed. As the songs seep into one another, the musicians collective shifting silhouettes form a sculptural composition that compliments the sonic one. For the audience, sound becomes physical as their movement through the field disassemble and reassemble the songs in a musical mix that is guided by their own positioning and location.compliments the sonic one.
