Metalission 2-channel fixed media 2002 6’35” Metalission involves the morphing of one sound type to another: short, pointillistic material moving toward long sustained tones. At the beginning of the work, these two sound types are presented as separate entities. As the piece progresses, the pointillistic sounds become more and more vehement in their striving to become the sustained tones. The sustained tones continually attempt to resist this change. Eventually these two sound types collide to produce a mass of sound that exhibits aspects of both. Metalission was composed and realized at the University of Illinois Experimental Music Studios. Metalision was premiered on June 16, 2002 at the MAVerick festival in Urbana, IL, with subsequent performances at the 2004 SEAMUS National Conference and the 2004 Florida Electro-Acoustic Music Festival.
