about

'Pleasures of a Normal Man' is a long-form composition for large ensemble, inspired by drone music, early music, "spectral" composers like Gerard Grisey, and semi-indeterminate compositional techniques I learned from Earle Brown and Anthony Braxton. It was written for my 2015 residency at the Stone (NYC).

The ensemble, which I assembled specifically for this performance, includes virtuoso players whose various credits include Mivos Quartet, ICEnsemble, and the NY Philharmonic.
