Relation, Manner, Formation

To be cognizant of the range of sounds in environments large and small demands the development of conscious effort.


With concentration, near-infinite admixtures of tones and timbres, patterns and lines appear to emerge, as it were, from formless shadows of sound.  Yet these dense textures and swirling aural tapestries are dashed into a fog of fragments and withdraw back into the psychic distance at the least distraction, however mild, that asserts itself fully into our consciousness.

Still, it is an experience of an immense pleasure, and, having known it, much to be desired again.

Musical works, or fabrications of sound design if you prefer, that evoke atmospheres of this nature are the objects of my methods and strategies of composition and recording.
