Holding Patterns (2008)

The idea of ‘the wondrous’ struck me early on in the work and teachings of Rudolf Komorous and lingers as a thread in much of my own thinking. Holding Patterns is a pursuit of this sensation within more abstract landscapes of timbre and noise. It is also about amplifying the surface tension of such fields by suggesting perforation or transparency, seeking to create a kind of living fabric through which incongruous elements peek through.

Commissioned by New York based ensemble Till By Turning, this recording was made in concert at the Friends Seminary Meeting House in Manhattan on March 31st 2008.
