Premier of my piece "000" for 5 performers, electronics and silent film.
To be premiered virtually 08-04-2020 at 7pm EST.

"000" is a piece to be synced with legendary silent film "Ballet Mécanique" by Ferdnand Léger in 1924. 
The piece reimagines the sounding atmosphere in our own times of uncertainty and technological revolution, with composer-directed, remote recordings by performers Brittany Trotter (flute, piccolo, and bass flute), Simon Cummings (cello), Federico Garcia-De Castro (piano), Ben Barson (baritone saxophone, and bass clarinet), and Brian Riordan (modular synthesizer, and signal processing).
