Strays 1

STRAYS is a two album set that spans a decade of electroacoustic compositions. This anthology collects tracks from compilations and collaborative projects, unreleased experiments, and excerpts from live performances. It acts as a definitive statement of my compositional praxis in the last decade.

“This collection of sixteen tracks comprise a sonic manifesto in platial thinking. Each composition has been constructed from sounds encountered in the environment: beach stones, plastic wrap, electromagnetic disturbances, broken pianos, ice machines, radio voices, etc. These materials are employed for their sonic textures; electronic transformations reveal hidden properties and interactions. Such traces define my place, first as a listener in an integral network of patterns and flows, then as a composer wishing to articulate such relationships for listeners.”
