I've been workshopping and rehearsing my new piece inner forms that Ilana Waniuk commissioned for an upcoming solo violin project. The piece incorporates choreography, a vintage radio, and electronics that’s a continuation of my work in exploring movement with musicians. Composing this piece for Ilana Waniuk has been a really meaningful project and collaboration and has become an important work for me, diving deeper into collaboration with choreography.

I've been working on a new piece, density swells upclose in breath for La Fiammata Piano Duo this year and will be premiered on May 31st at Mazzoleni Hall in Toronto! It's been such a wonderful experience getting to work closely with Linda and Charissa in composing this piece for them. We got the chance to have several workshops where we tried different aleatoric structures, even recorded their heart rates to incorporate into the rhythmic structures of the piece. This was was generously supported by a Commissioning Grant from the Ontario Arts Council.

We've been rehearsing my piece out of grains, within clouds, focusing on putting together the choreography with live music at this point. So excited to be working with Quinn Jacobs of Din of Shadows again and to have such amazing and inspiring collaborators: Louis Pino, Jonny Smith, Angela Blumberg, and Ming-Bo Lam! The piece will be premiered with Din of Shadows' Material Mythology concert at the Music Gallery in May.
