I work for Information Services & Technology at Boston University where I try to make the BU WordPress CMS more flexible for designers and easier to use for content editors. I compose music that often incorporates technology and recorded sounds, and I am the co-director of the new music organization Amp.

Truly unbelievable and very disappointing. Looks like I only get to hear a third of the Stravinsky. Too bad that it is the last night. on Wed Jan 25

@gsandow Don't dwell on the past and build community. Engaging live performances are key. on Mon Jan 16

Amplified. New music for saxophone and electronics presented by Amp on tour with stops in NYC, Atlanta, and Boston. Compositions include works of the European avant-garde highlighted by the US premiere of Stockhausen’s Edentia, as well as pieces by Amp co-directors, Adam Mirza and Gregory Cornelius. Amplified features saxophonist Michael Ibrahim and sound projection by Gregory Cornelius.

The centerpiece of the tour is the US premiere of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Edentia for soprano saxophone and electronic music, the 20th Hour from the cycle Klang - the 24 Hours of the Day. Edentia, composed in 2007, is one of Stockhausen’s final compositions. Like many of his later works it defies easy categorization. Looped electronic melodies spiral through space and time (spatialized for 8 loudspeakers at the Freiburg Experimental Studio for Acoustic Art) in evocation, perhaps, of the cosmic voice, while through this mesmerizing vortex rises the quizzical saxophone.
