In the past two years, I have composed four CD-length works in a series called 2012 Stories, all supported by commissions and residencies. I was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in 2008 for In lake'ch (Mayan for I am another yourself), the first work in the series composed in Taos, New Mexico. The second, Kuxan suum (Road to the sky), was commissioned and composed in France and the third, Zuvuya (Circle of life), in Mexico and returned to Taos for the fourth this summer titled Sian ka'an. Currently I am working on No. 5: Cannac (there is no form without spirit). This series, a multifaceted single large work (eventually nine to eleven hours long), is meeting with critical acclaim and is international in scope, and will be completed by 2012. I will be composing two CD-length works Kinan (No. 6, Mayan for Solar force) and Chanes (No.7, Family of Light) in Rome.
