Electronic Works

Premiered in Fall 2023 at my senior degree recital at The Catholic University of America.

Composer Note:

Calm, meditative water is disturbed by a brief rainstorm in Reflecting Pool. The piece follows a compositional rule in which any note played above “Middle C” is mirrored by a note played an equal distance below. Following this rule emphasizes the idea of reflection, as do the stereo panning and tuning (courtesy of the electronic keyboard). I also found that the symmetrical figures created by following this rule led to unusual harmony that gave this piece a unique character. After Reflecting Pool’s rainstorm, the main theme returns distorted and settles back into its original form as peace returns to the water.
