Social Media Suite

Each of the movements is loosely inspired by elements of social media, the internet and electronic communication in general, though purely musical argument always takes precedence:

1. En Face

2. Les Oiseaux

3. The Dark Web

4. SMSOS

A fun, creative take on Social Media in the current world…. great use of extended technique. Excellent development of musical ideas. Unique and driving harmonies…a really creative and colorful work.
