This a live performance recording of some music I made for a series of ten site-specific dance performances, performed by Beacon Dance in and around a stream that flows at Emory University, on the evenings of 15-19 October 2011.

I was situated under a bridge. The music is both pre-recorded and live, and runs for 45 minutes ! It varies. If you like dark ambience, try part 1a! If you prefer poppy electronica, then 1e is the place to go ! If you can't get enough of live processed sound, then part 2 is your destination ! If you pine for tightly composed metrical mallets and live violin (by guest soloist Zac Denton), then get ye to part 4 ! Or, if you want different noises and oddments, then pick anywhere...
