VERTEX

This piece for piano, string quartet, theremin, and electronics is based on the idea of points coming together and was inspired by this geometric image. The motive behind the piece is a long slide, or glissando, that is performed by the violins, viola and theremin. The repeating 3 chord structure creates the shape of a triangle as the piece ascends in register. This is the one piece on the album that includes electronic processing, a spectral granular synth that uses a filter in the shape of . . . a triangle!

In this behind the scenes look, I introduce an electronic instrument called the theremin, show a live performance of the piece, and let you follow along in a score video. I hope you enjoy the piece!

Get the Album first

The first 3 tracks on the new album will be released on 3.20.2020, but the rest of the album will not be available until this summer on the streaming platforms and stores. These platforms favor singles over albums for playlist placement.

So I will be sharing the entire album for email subscribers in a 7 day album experience. (Don't worry, it's just about building a community, not about spamming you with emails!).

On album release day, you will receive 1 email a day for 7 days that leads you to a behind the scenes look that details what each piece means, how it was written, and how it was recorded. You can download the high res audio (available nowhere else), stream the music, look at the scores, and learn how it was recorded.

Thank you for joining me on this musical journey! Check your email inbox (and Junk Mail!) for the Welcome email.
