written for Transient Canvas (Matt Sharrock / Amy Advocat)

late fall 2015

An assembly kit score consisting of seven groups of material for each instrument, each based around a single note. Each performer assembles their own parts by drawing an item from each group in numerical order (12345671234567 etc.), creating perpetually shifting loops that are alike but never quite the same. Each performer also constructs a 'ghost' track that may be shuffled or sequenced at their discretion and played back during the performance.

for Andy Meyerson

summer 2016

Fourteen items consisting of score fragments, diagrams and verbal instructions, as well as a toy music box and miscellaneous preparations.

Andy realized the contents of this box using vibraphone and a turntable without records. We assembled those recordings into a 15-minute piece for his forthcoming solo album.

for Joseph Edward Yonker

summer 2014

Three cassette tapes, several unmarked diagrams, and directions for assembly in invented alphabet.

Joseph sent me a box as well. We each assembled a tape side from the contents of the others' box, resulting in the 2015 tape release john wayne death scene.
