Dancing Tree for fixed electronics and video (2014) - 7'

PROGRAM NOTE: Dancing Tree is product of my fascination with slow growth. The tree in this time-lapse video is about 300 years old, but is only 15 feet tall because of the desert environment where it grows. The music in this piece is a sonification of the subtle, but often frenetic movement of the dancing tree on one windy day in the desert of west Texas.    PERFORMANCES: Society of Composers Inc.
