Current Projects

Information about my current projects can be found below, including links to my collaborators’ websites.

unfurling (Consortium now open!)

unfurling is a new work for solo trumpet (or flugelhorn) and electronics by Hannah Boissonneault that explores the push and pull of ambience and the elasticity of time. I am leading the consortium to commission this piece, which will be performable in two modes: at a 5′ duration with a fixed media track, or with a Max/MSP patch to add space for improvisation, extending the length of the piece. unfurling is intended as an accessible entry point to electroacoustic performance that can also grow with you as you develop your skills and familiarity with electronic music!

Join the consortium for unfurling over at Hannah’s site: https://hannahboissonneault.com/consortium-for-trumpet
(Students: $50, professionals: $100; delivery by July 26, 2024; one-year performance exclusivity. Join by June 14)

Deep Field

Deep Field is a new work for trumpet and electronic fixed media by Betsy Podsiadlo inspired by the photograph of the same name taken by NASA’s James Webb telescope. This piece will be part of a multi-instrumental suite of works that seek to explore our relationship to what is not of Earth and explore humanity’s role in the tapestry of the universe.

As the crow flies

As the crow flies is a new work for piccolo trumpet and pre-recorded accompaniment by Xenia St. Charles Iris Llyllyth. Premiere date TBD.
