Writings on my compositions:
Writings on Music, other composers
Writings on Voice, Acoustics, Perception
Research
has become an important complement to my compositional development. My research interests involve the quantification of the
acoustic, physiologic and perceptual characteristics of extra-complex musical sonorities. A listing of completed papers may
be found in my cv. Below are listed past and current research interests:
1. the acoustic and physiologic characteristics of extra-complex
vocal production
2. the acoustic and mechanical characteristics of extra-complex
instrumental production
3. nonlinear phenomena in voice and instruments
4. perceptual attributes of multi-variable, temporally shifting,
complex instrumental/vocal sonorities
5. the relationships between art and science
