about

Inspired by Brian Eno’s minimalist electronica and creative compositional technique of making music “for” specific places and by a painter who described Interventions 1 – 5 as inspiring “background music” for their time in the studio, each piece in this collection started from an imagined space for which it could be intended to be played. However, I could not stop myself from making a joke out of the process. For example, Brian Eno may have suggested an airport, but I have never listened to that piece in such a setting. Who am I to declare where a piece is “for?” Thus, each composition contains at least one inappropriate element for its namesake.
