*100 copies limited edition* Transparent duo, for 2 string instruments. On transparent paper. One set of pages indicates bowing. The second indicates the direction and length of mostly inaudible glissando. Players overlay pages and play any number of combinations. Field recordings were taken one morning and evening, in the summer of 2025 around Narrowsburg. 

"Through my music, I create situations for people to play and be together, to sustain a community, to share sounds and ideas in a welcoming environment. I am drawn to works that speak in a hushed voice that does not draw attention to itself, that stresses generosity, intimacy, and attentiveness. In my music, I combine textures, spaces and practices to open windows into overlapping perspectives on experience and distorted sense of place and time, parallel realities. I often write soft dynamics. That way I can hear more: nuances of an instrument's timbre, discrete noises, street sounds, neighbours, my pulse. Everything becomes louder. I ask myself: How much do I need to add to everything that I hear? What am I displacing?"
