about

This recording features interpretations of two graphic scores: "Holidays" and "Peekamoose and Table." If you click on the specific track you can see part of the score (and the cover is from Peekamoose and Table).

"Holidays" is a dense, spiraling, but tuneful exploration of sound in a holiday spirit. "Peekamoose and Table" is a piece I composed after hiking those two mountains, found in the Catskills in New York State. This is part of my ongoing Sonic Peaks project (www.sonicpeaks.com), where I hike all of the highest mountains in the Northeast part of the U.S., and create graphic scores after each climb. The scores reflect the experiences I have out there, a conduit from the athletic meditation of moving through the mountains under my own power to the realm of creative music.

I'm exploring using more synths with my explorations music. I like the way the synths blend with the marimba, and it provides more color and expressive possibilities with the music.
