@axwax I have a recent release! This track is for clarinet, flute, and MIDI keyboard w/ Max/MSP. There are strange woodwind noises and multiphonics, ham radio samples & retro electric piano, among other things, and it sounds glitchy and trippy. It's on a compilation w/ 11 other composers, and that's great to check out as well!
It's a glitchy, experimental trio for flute, clarinet, and MIDI keyboard/Max. There are Morse code and other ham radio samples, electric piano, and bowed cardboard box, and it's surprisingly groovy.
New blog post — I have a track coming out April 12! it's on a new album by the electroacoustic trio Apply Triangle with works by 33 composers, and it was recorded remotely during lockdown.
I talk about collecting amateur radio samples to use in the piece, the album project, and there's even a poem.

I'm getting my music on PeerTube, and here's the next one! It's for 2 pianists, 2 percussionists & "no-input mixer." The outputs of the mixer are connected back to various inputs, and I can unmute various channels to get feedback. The percussionists are playing a homemade speaker instrument, megaphone & more.

A chamber orchestra composition I recently put on PeerTube! One of the percussionists is placing a contact mic on a large speaker to make flabby feedback; the pianist is using a contact mic/transducer against the piano strings; and there's lots of microtonal/noise sounds from the rest of the ensemble.
I'm setting up on PeerTube; here's another one of my compositions for MIDI keyboard, cello & percussion
The MIDI keyboard has DX7 E-PIANO 1 tuned to 19-EDO & glitchy "databending" samples. The cello has a wah pedal & small amp that feeds back with the cello's contact mic.
I keep meaning to make more score videos with recordings of my music. I've got a few on Youtube (in my pinned posts), but I'm thinking I should try Peertube. Can anyone recommend a good Peertube instance for this kind of thing?
