  hithering thithering djinn  
   interactive environment for trumpet
   and computer generated sound (2009)
-----------------------------------------------------------

                  

solo performance recorded on October 14, 2009
program note:   The hithering thithering djinn is an interactive music engine.  Through a combination of a wireless microphone and gestural controllers nested into the body of the trumpet, I am able to activate and control an array of real-time audio manipulation tools, rhythmically structured sample playback engines, and live sound diffusion.   This interactive software environment is flexible enough to be used in multiple contexts, but was created with a distinct compositional voice - a set of limits and possibilities that provide a skeletal structure for the improvisational content.
