Echo Quarry (2026)
Echo Quarry is a reflective, ambient piece inspired by my 2025 residency at the Emily Harvey Foundation in Venice and the antiphonal music of Venetian Renaissance composer Adrian Willaert. The piece transforms a pair of madrigals by Willaert into a generative structural matrix for the Mutantrumpet/live electronics. Fragments of my live acoustic performance are captured, layered, and spatialized through live sampling, creating slowly evolving textures and counterpoint. No synthesizers or other tone generators are used, the entire piece is created from the live sampled acoustic Mutantrumpet tones. Willaert’s pieces are transformed through a variety of looping, filtering, and pitch shifting techniques, resulting in a contemporary electronic work that is derived from Renaissance music and acoustic timbres.
