Scores

I have on occasion written scored compositions to be performed either by myself or others, usually in the form of text-based instructions. This approach was a way of exploring new and challenging improvisational situations that break habits, as well as highlighting social dynamics in group improvisation and music generally.

Please contact me if you are interested in accessing any of these scores.
