A defunct department store becomes an immersive art gallery and music venue featuring contemporary installations, live DJs, and performances by Temple University’s electroacoustic ensemble.
I’m honored to be there as the Established Fellow in Music Composition. There’s an article featuring an interview with me about the fellowship on the Delaware Division of the Arts website.
The Delaware Division of the Arts Individual Artist Fellows celebrations continue with an opening this evening at the Historic Odessa Foundation, featuring my work alongside the other awardees.

Had a blast playing this recently in Michigan. 🤖
Rehearsing “Reflections on the Brandywine: The Ancient Leaning Tree” in preparation for the Delaware Division of the Arts XXV Individual Artist Awards Ceremony performance. Crazy kids at the event.
Beautiful performance today of my woodwind quintet Pillars in the Sea, inspired by a dismantled dock beyond the Verrazano Narrows on Staten Island—a place of reflection and peace that often returns to me in dreams. Grateful to Christiana Winds for their sensitive and expressive interpretation.
Solo percussion and electronics set captured by The Silent Camera in Philadelphia. Presented by Fidget—I remain forever grateful for their support.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Susan Alcorn. What an incredible musician and kind soul. I last played with her in 2019 when she was kind enough to come and talk with my students. They all ended up getting a chance to improvise with her on a show in West Philly led by Dan Blacksberg.
Such a loss! I hadn’t heard. She will be missed.
In 1887, African American composer Edmond Dédé was living in exile in France and completed the greatest work of his life:
an opera 545 pages long telling a story of epic proportions. He knew that what he had accomplished was important.
Shows 2/5 NYC, 2/7 DC

I am grateful to Andy, who is a wonderful musician. He not only premiered the work, but has been a champion of this piece, as well as new music at large. We are lucky to have him in Philadelphia!

Incredibly beautiful realization of my work “Binary Orbital Mechanics” performed here by percussionist Andy Thierauf. The score describes the relationship between two bodies in gravitational attraction, which serves as instructions for how the two might interact musically.

Been on location practicing with SPLICE Ensemble for the upcoming concert at SPLICE Festival in Kalamazoo! Going to be a great event with some amazing performances.
Here’s a cool one from SPLICE Fest a few years back by Robert Seaback called “Mutation (as the mark that noise leaves upon presence)”
This piece features the bodhrán, a traditional Irish drum, which I played in the incredible resonance of the caves. It is one of the coolest places I’ve ever made music. 🇮🇪

Practicing Entanglements: The Cave, The Tape, The Spark
Since 2019, Paula Matthusen, Jennifer Beattie, and SPLICE Ensemble have explored Kentucky’s Mammoth Caves, creating a piece that is moving, humorous, and poignant, ending with a tribute to the great Alvin Lucier and an electrified pickle. ⚡️

“Brood X Dreams of a Pool Party” from the compilation album “Tymbal”
Musicians were given a sample palette with which to make their own original recording—4 hours of Brood X field recordings. The results span the soft hills of ambient drone to the skittering abstractions of modern computer music.

“This is not Aquarius” by DM Hotep (guitarist for the Sun Ra Arkestra), commissioned by BEEP, reflects on the broken 1960s promise of peace and understanding. Featuring Tara Middleton (vocals), DM Hotep (electric guitar), and a vast orchestra of electronic musicians, it explores shattered idealism.
