CJM Sounds features a set of compositions created by composer/performer Chris McIntyre. morphi studies is an on-going project that situates the trombone's sound and idioms within various types of electronically produced contexts. It is a collection of short works created as both a solo vehicle for the composer and as a way to explore the capabilities of MAX/MSP and conventional "tape piece" techniques. quartet music for trumpet, horn, bass trombone, and Nord Lead 2 was first inspired by a commission from the organization Composer's Concordance and the brass trio B3+. Part 1, since revised, was premiered in March 2008. Tonight's performance is the premiere of the complete three-movement work. Its aesthetic lies somewhere between historical Vareseian "organized sound" and 21st century stylistic inclusivity. quartet music strives to be playerly ensemble music while proffering a distinctive vision of 21st century chamber music.
