Nocturne #1 in C Sharp Major is a composition for two CD players [with pre-paired compact discs] programmed for random continuous playback. Each CD has exactly 100 tracks between the lengths of 4-10 seconds. 90% of the tones outline the C Sharp major triad [C#, F, G#]. The other 10% of the notes are the rest of the notes in the C Sharp major scale [D#, F#, A#, B] that are not a part of the major triad. By playing the CDs on a random continuous playback Nocturne #1 in C Sharp is constantly exploring new musical ideas based on the simple function of chance.

The playback volume of Nocturne #1 in C Sharp should co-exist with the natural changing soundscape of the selected performance space. As the piece plays back continuously the sonic structures & space will fluctuate with itself and also the natural environment.

Title: Conversations
Release #: MIF007
Format: CD (Out of print) / Digital


Starting on November 21st, 2006 I started the process of building conversation and response by calling and recording random people in the Johnstown Area Phone Book.

After the first conversation "Person 001: Hello. Hello?" was recorded and documented I then proceeded to call another random person with a playback recording of the previous persons' response. The person that is being called and recorded is fooled into thinking they are talking to an actual person when only they are responding to a recording of the previous conversation. As I move through the same process for each conversation, more information develops, and the concrete themes and ideas start to form more complex exchanges between the people and the recording.

Title: Bodies
Release #: MIF006
Format: CD (Out of print) / Digital


Bodies is based on the German resarch scientist W.O Schumann who identified the dominant vibration in our earth's atmosphere in the mid twentieth centry. It's now known as the Schumann Resonance with the rather of 7.83 hertz, a very low and inaudible C# tone. The composition Bodies is in three parts and tries to bridge the connection and ideas between frequencies, earth & body.
