I performed Page Turner’s Agony at SEAMUS 2022. I customized and updated the original SuperCollider so I can perform without looking at a computer screen. The performance was archived by Deck10 Media.

Page Turner’s Agony (2021)
A page turner, in my experience, has one of the most stressful musical roles. A single mistake could ruin the concert, but the audience does not recognize the turner’s craftsmanship when the task gets done skillfully. Performing music with a computer shares the same position. A mouse click or fader movement on stage does not get praise since anybody can do it. Yet, electronic musicians practice sequences and combinations of those simple actions to express and share something unique. I hope that this piece shows the possibility of digital virtuosity.

Octaves in BPM 120
In music, a form helps us to remember. We notice patterns in a form. When we recognize patterns displayed in time, the past makes sense. I invite listeners of Octaves in BPM 120 to focus on patterns and sequences. Listen to the order and combination of elements. Melodies and harmonies are not relevant in this piece as all pitches are Gs. I hope that the order and manner I present five sounds with different characters are delightful nonetheless.
