艺术的声明: 我相信每个人都拥有巨大的天生创造力, 但, 出于各种原因, 很少访问这个宝贵的个人资源. 作为一名作曲家, one of my foremost concerns is countering this societal trend by helping individuals connect with 和 use their inner creativity. One way in which I address this issue is by (re)integrating performers into the creative portion of the music making process through graphic notation which immediately sheds many conventions of Western art music including the primacy of pitch 和 a roughly one-to-one correspondence between score input 和 sonic output. In addition to enabling non-specialists 和 musicians with lesser technical facility to offer viable or “accurate” performances, graphic scores provide greater creative agency to performers essentially resulting in an equal partnership between composer 和 performer(s). 这个配置, paired with my interest in other experimental practices such as the incorporation of visual 和 theatrical elements, performance-based 安装, live electronics 和 performance art, confronts many musical conventions 和 thus engages audience members in new ways, 通常呈现一种既吸引人又具有挑战性的体验.ence members in new ways, 通常呈现一种既吸引人又具有挑战性的体验.
