    uniE613 Milieus (2023 - 2024)
    Three performer-guided Max/MSP patches that use a combination of different instruments, samples, and specified random procedures to evoke nuances of not-quite-natural seeming spaces while developing common textural themes throughout. https://soundcloud.com/garrett-fry-438605754/sets/milieus?si=645d0733ba904a11a60ffafcc701332f&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Two of the main motifs are: the samples of field-recorded bird songs, and the use of a delay line in which the time of delay is quickly changed between values, generating living chirp-like, “glitches” throughout.…

The atypical technique of switching off the organ’s air supply mid-performance was utilized as well as special attention to the particular organ’s registration capabilities.…
    uniE613 Suddenness (2018 - 2019)
    A song cycle for voice, medium-sized mixed chamber orchestra and electronics which explores déjà vu, the boundary between dreams and nightmares, and death. https://www.twine.net/signin Each movement represents an overlapping moment of death, connected through different types of motifs whose transformations and deformations suggest different subjective passages of time. Key harmonic organizing elements are based from a hexachord transposed and manipulated depending on subjective color association. These recordings are the result of a month-long rehearsal and recording process and represent a studio-driven approach to capturing the essence of the pieces…
