Piece Year: 2023

    • Two of Pentacles at Grand Performances, June 10, 2023

    Two of Pentacles is a solo performance for Lou Harrison National Resonator guitar and 7 of my 20 Eikosany chimes. I play the JI guitar, and the chimes will be played through robotic triggers. The 7 notes are the pitches that overlap between the Lou Harrison’s guitar tuning at the Eikosany chimes I built last year. For this juggling of systems and for this period in my own career and life, Two of Pentacles is a very appropriate symbol.

    Two of Pentacles was created with support from a City of Los Angeles Master Artist Project Grant.

    A dance quartet combining traditional Korean dance with chance operations and contemporary dance.

    The music combines Lou Harrison’s National Resophonic Guitar with electronics and the powerful pansori voice of Melody Shim.

    As part of the development process for a collaboration with Alexander Gedeon and DaEun Jung, I made a 13 minute video/sound piece for Music for Your Inbox called Candoro.

    In this video, the soundscape around the Candoro Marble Company in Knoxville, TN is treated with JI magical realism, echoing the surreal navigations of our three bodies around the physical space of the building’s Beaux-Arts architecture.

    The video was shot during our time at the Loghaven Artist Residency last September.

    Performers:
    Daniel Corral, Alexander Gedeon, and DaEun Jung
