tHE sIS (winter-spring 2004)

tHE sIS wORKS : the three movements of my master’s thesis. A disturbing and horrifying work not meant for the faint at heart or children.

There He Is - Still Alive but Approaching Fate

There He Is - As He Dies He Dreams Sweetly

There He Is - The Slow Realization That He Has Died

Eight months of no life later I emerged with these three gems. This is from a surreal rehearsal that I had outside at BC the weekend before the premiere. I definitely owe thanks to; faculty - gEORGE bRUNNER, dOUGLAS cOHEN, jOHN jANNONE, tANIA lEON, aMNON wOLMAN – performers; aNDREA lA rOSE (piccolo, flute), dO kIEN cOUNG (oboe), cHRIS bACAS (saxophones), mICHAEL fREELAND (actor), and eRICA lIVINGSTON (the scary voice on tape, I still can’t talk to her without getting a little scared) – friends; tOM jOHNSON, aNDREW lIVINGSTON and uDI pLADOTT. They all listened to a lot of complaining to get me through this.
