| Recycling Recycling is a musical composition, the performance of which is driven by an animated graphic score. All the instruments are made from recyclable materials. This is documentation of a performance from April 2010 in which Michael Morgan and I performed as soloists, accompanied by an audience equipped with items like plastic bags, cardboard box shakers, and food cans. For a demonstration of the stringed instrument I constructed from a coffee can, shipping tubes and fishing line, click here. |

| Two Ways "There are two ways to wash the dishes. The first is to wash the dishes in order to have clean dishes and the second is to wash the dishes in order to wash the dishes." Two Ways is an intermedia theater piece that begins with a projection of the preceding quotation by Tich Naht Hahn and then cycles through two alternating video sources. A sequence of fades between the two video sources functions as a score for the two percussionists, one creating subtle gestures on a battery of kitchen utensils and the other on drum set. When the dish-washing images are most present, so are the quiet kitchen sounds. In contrast, memories of a hectic day trigger outbursts from the drums so that these two ways of being compete for visual and aural space. Performance from April 20, 2009 Ming-Jen Suen and Jonathan Jackson, percussion Sarah Summar, dish washer |
