The above photo is of the Saint Étienne Cathedral in Bourges, site of the Sythèse Festival. This year, I had the pleasure of presenting my work Earth and Green as part of the festival. Earth and Green continues to be well-received as the work was also chosen as a finalist in this year's SEAMUS/ASCAP Student Commision Prize. SEAMUS will also be releasing the work on Volume 18 of the Music from SEAMUS CD series, which should be available beginning in the spring of 2009.
I also recently completed a collaboration with choreographer David Justin, cellist Leanne Zacharias, and dancer Rosalyn Nasky entitled Fray, which was premiered at the Big Range Festival in Austin, Texas.

This past summer, I had the pleasure of participating as a fellow in the 2007 Composers Conference at Wellesley College. Working with the terrific musicians, Jim Baker, Pablo Ortiz, Martin Brodie, Mario Davidovsky, and the other composition fellows was an outstanding experience for both the mind and the ear. During the conference, my new work, Handwoven for 14 players, was premiered.
Here is a link to the recording:

I am back in New York after performing and participating at the Orford Sound Art Workshop. During this trip, Leanne Zacharias and I are presenting Voice-Leading at a small venue in the garment district.
Music for Spaces: Voice-Leading
Friday, July 20, 8 pm
Actors Movement Studio
302 West 37th [@ 8th Avenue]
suggested donation $7
created and performed by
Gregory Cornelius - saxophone
Leanne Zacharias - cello
Drawing from interviews with musicians, artists + audience members, Voice-Leading is an intimate performance piece exploring the experience of music + concert rituals associated with art music. The work's main thread is dialogue + it demands close listening. As a living installation, eight loudspeakers blend radiophonic interview clips + electroacoustic interludes with live acoustic moments. The result connects ideas to sounds — everything from house concerts + the Flaming Lips to church + the Chicago Symphony.
It is an ongoing conversation.
