about

"The Face of the Night" (78:38) represents my full performance of 18 March 2023 at Passages - Ambient Channels and Crossings in Philadelphia. This occasion provided the opportunity for me to build on my previous concert experiences and offered a meaningful opportunity to advance my craft, further my artistry, and venture into a new sonic frontier with a willing and perceptive audience.

With this sustained experiment in spontaneous composition a distinctive sonic language emerged. Giving audible form to the inner realm the performance developed incrementally, steadily progressing and expanding along an arc of sequencer spirit. As energy builds out in assemblies of Berlin-School patterns, ethereal chords and spacey synth leads enhance the outward direction of the music.
