Welcome to my little corner of the web. I am an Associate Professor of Composition in the College of Music at Florida State University as well as an Associate Editor for Perspectives of New Music. I'm active as a both a composer and a theorist. Recent activities include: Premiere of elegy, for violin and piano, by my FSU colleagues Benjamin Sung and David Kalhaus, which you can listen to here. Presentations of canons with infinite solutions at conferences of the American Mathematical Society and Society for Music Theory, as well as a special symposium on Nancarrow in the 21st Century. An exploration of some of the compositional, mathematical, and performance issues involved in the approximation of irrational rhythms, concentrating on Paul Usher’s arrangement of Study 33 for the Arditti String Quartet in order more fully understand and appreciate this remarkable feat, published in the Conlon Nancarrow: Life and Music online symposium. Very recent investigations into the structural properties of rhythmic canons based on Sturmian words. These Sturmian canons are aperiodic, hierarchical, and potentially self-similar rhythmic patterns that give rise to aperiodic (thus infinite) rhythmic canons, tilings, and polyrhythms. Have a listen to (and a look at) some of my compositions. Point and Line to Plane recorded by pianist Jeffrey Jacob on Contemporary American Eclectic Piano Music Vol. 10. Patty, My Dear recorded by pianist Jeri-Mae Astolfi on Sonance: New Music for Piano. Metamophoses performed by Evan Jones at the Spark Festival, Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States (SEAMUS), Electronic Music Midwest and Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival. Metamorphoses II commissioned by the Florida State Music Teachers' Association (FSMTA) and the Hanna-Yang Duo, who have given performances at the FSU New Music Festival and the National College Music Society and FSMTA conferences. Reasons to Learne to Sing commissioned by the College Music Society on the occasion of their 50th anniversary. Or have a look at some of my research. “Continuous Harmonic Spaces,” published in the Journal of Music Theory, and winner of the David Kraehenbuehl Prize. Presentation at the American Mathematical Society on Spira Mirabilis, a set of canons with an infinite number of possible tempo combinations. A three-way collaboration with Ian Quinn and Dmitri Tymoczko on geometrical music theory, published in Science and the topic of a special session at the Society for Music Theory Annual Conference. Empirical research with my FSU colleague Nancy Rogers on the judgments of distance between trichords that answers some of the questions I posed in an SMT presentation on voice-leading distance. Joint work with mathematician Rachel Hall on Z-related chords (known to the world outside of music theory as homometric sets), presented at both SMT and AMS (the math one) National Conferences.
