Incredibly honored to have had my first commission by the incredible Amanda Arrington and her colleagues Alyssa Morris & Karen McLaughlin Large . This is Untitled_1 for Flute, Oboe & Piano. 4 scenes depicting the lifecycle of technology:

 

M-01A: Startup_Sequence A short soundscape of a 90's something computer booting up. M-01B: Cutting Edge, The Latest and Greatest! This machine is the newest fastest and shiniest unit on the market. Brand new innovative software and a modern sheet look. Get yours today!

 

M-02: The Internet - Any_&_Everything_=_Always_Everywhere: This movement represents the growth of the internet to what it has become today. From small servers connecting few computers together, to web surfing to anything you could possibly want at the click of a mouse [or tap of a screen] The infinite amounts of information/content existing everywhere and nowhere all simultaneously. And hidden in this vast web of everything includes crime, scams, gambling & life ruining decay. But even though all that is here - nothing can stop the colossus that is - The Internet.

 

M-03: Virus Alert! Need I say more?

 

M-04: Always and Forever Outmoded: Technology is always the worst it will always be in the present [and only worsens as time passes]. Innovation only improves with every waking second and waits for nothing. Old machines that were the top of the line only age and can't keep up only to inevitably end up as e-waste. Man made materials not decaying out in a landfill from cloud nine to rock bottom in an instant. How sad.
