For stereo channel electronics
Duration: 8.5 minutes

2008

Program Note:

This piece was directly influenced by an abstract video from Claudia Rohrmoser. The images contained within the work; their propagation and linear development were very evocative and produced a strong impetus to create sounds based on my kinetic reaction to the visual stimulus. In staying with the abstract, I chose the title Hadron for two reasons the first of which being that the title seemed evocative yet mysteriously unspecific. The second is because in particle physics a Hadron’s compositional structure is somewhat similar to the architectural structure of this piece.
