I am honored to have been invited to be featured as composer-in-residence with the .abeceda new music ensemble for their annual festival at Lake Bled in Slovenia in June of 2023.
A new piece WOLF for violin, viola, cello, alto sax, prepared harp, and electronics was premiered by members of .abeceda on June 26 at Bled Castle, following a pre-concert talk during which I discussed my musical and compositional origins, my relationship to this piece, and my experiences working with this ensemble. A piece for solo cello, bluet (i): aporia written in 2020 was also performed by Urban Megušar on the same concert.
Later in the week, on June 29, a recently completed work for solo cello and tape, contaminant, was performed by Urban at the Festival Hall in Bled, following a pre-concert talk.
I was quite honored to be in community with such passionate and inspiring artists, and I am eager to share recordings and videos of the performances.
