Program Note:

Stamino-sosti is a kinetic ritual that explores virtuosity and sound color against a slowly-changing pulsing backdrop. The work’s core was developed from a step-sequencer improvisation; the percussion parts were subsequently added to provide motivic elements, surface varieties, and formal contrasts; more electroacoustic events were finally layered in to tie everything together. The end result is rather relentless---I hope in a hypnotic/exciting way. Stamino-sosti was written for EXIT 9 percussion group in 2007-08.
