The performance ensemble SoundProof (Patricia Strange, violin; Stephen
Ruppenthal, trumpet; Brian Belet, viola and electronics) will include my new one-minute composition Impervious, written
specifically for the ensemble, on the "15 Minutes of Fame" portion of their Fall 2012 Midwest Tour. The competition was hosted by Vox Novus.
I crammed a lot of music into my one minute. Impervious is the single climactic arc of an
obsessive, asymmetrical rhythmic idea. Electronics were based on my voice
and processed using Pure Data and SoundHack, plus analog synthesis. The
trumpet is featured in half-valve, growl, and wah-wah effects, while the violin and viola use whispering sul ponticello technique.
