magic if press release...
"this project started with a commission from eighth blackbird and ben broening to create a multi-channel composition for the university of richmond's third practice electroacoustic music festival. i wrote out a set of instructions for each musician and recorded them separately from the rest of the group. the first sessions were with molly, michael, nick and lisa. i started to work with their sounds, layering, processing, adding and eliminating elements until i found something that felt musical and spatial. the result was a 10-channel mix of 'rush and lullaby (2).'

the instructions were simple:, play a pattern of 3 notes, play the sound of an animal, etc. interpretation was wide open. molly played the sound of a charging baby boar on her flute. lisa played a short pattern on the piano that i used over and over again. following the premiere of 'rush,' i did another session with matthew and matt. this resulted in 'one violin.' from there i just kept on going with the sounds i had recorded to produce the rest of the record.
