Isolario: a second book of miniatures for string quartet and electronics, inspired by Italian cartographers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Based on visits to islands around the world, I’d travel to Southern Italy and the Venetian lagoon to make field recordings that would be incorporated into the piece. End Words: a setting of six sestinas for six voices and electronics, a Chamber Music America commission for the New York vocal ensemble Ekmeles. Mosaicing: a large-scale work for two ensembles, ICE (International Contemporary Ensemble) and Ensemble L’Itinéraire—a project supported by the French-American Cultural Exchange (FACE), with premieres in New York and Paris—accompanied by live electronics (concatenative synthesis) inspired by the vivid mosaic tile patterns of the Mediterranean.
