The world has become like a fracturing land. A land of desolate plains and jagged mountains. A land of bottomless fissures and blazing skies. A land of anxiety and boredom and failed resolutions. A land where life and reason cling to existence, screaming defiantly in the face of an overwhelming darkness.
"Into this Fracturing Land" (2020) for cello and electronic media draws upon this hypothetical world as a musical summary of many of my thoughts and experiences over the last year and half. What does it mean to fail? What does it mean to collapse? Are we already living in a fracturing land? Can we undo the fracturing that has been set in motion?

Into this Fracturing Land utilized a tuning system in which the octave is divided into 31 equal steps, instead of the 12 steps used in most modern Western music.

Cosmology is a series of five interlinked pieces for solo violoncello and fixed electronic media. Meant to structurally mimic the chronology of the universe, Cosmology also draws inspiration from field recordings made by the Voyager I Spacecraft, which were translated into sound by NASA and used to create the album series "Symphonies of the Planets" in the 1990's.

Cosmology heavily incorporates pitches and intonation that lie outside the standardized (Western) tuning of 12-equal temperament. Instead, it utilizes applications of "just intonation" (JI), or purely intoned intervals that lack the inherent compromises of equal temperament. This allows for more faithful renderings of the radio and microwave signals upon which it is inspired.
