Tetra-Mnemosyne V Score and Parts Available and Violin Futura Performances

I've finally got a chance to get the score of my monumental string trio (if there can be such a thing) Tetra-Mnemosyne V. It's my favorite of the 7 pieces and is as dark and soulful as I can get. Can't believe I wrote it 9 years ago! Yikes! I'd better get off my ass with the other ones... still have to do I, II, III and VI. I wrote them at a time when I was really stressed at work (the launch of the dot bomb enhanced video system, HyperTV, barely sleeping for 3 weeks at a time), and decided to focus on one genre over a period of 2 years. It was a very productive time, but a very tiring time too. Most of my piano preludes come from the same period.

Tetra-Mnemosyne V for String Trio - Superconductor Realization

Piotr Szewczyk has been extremely busy with his Violin Futura project, performing the 16 pieces with a new suite by Lawrence Dillon and at the Santa Fe New Music Festival with computer-generated imagery. Check out the YouTube. My favorite of the pieces is my own Puce, of course... but all of the compositions are electric.

I've put up a recording of the ARTSaha performance of my piece for disklavier, Surge.

Surge for Disklavier - World Premiere Live Recording.

It was a big thrill to be invited to write a piece for the festival which included other disklavier mavericks such as Kyle Gann and Joseph Drew.
