Here I give an extended account of the working methods and contextual research of four works I created for performance on my final two degree recitals. These works revolve around a shared set of concerns: the relationships between scores, recording technology, and performance emphasizing the role of transcription considered broadly in terms of notations, recordings and religious performance

    Here I present a portfolio of three projects completed during my degree at UCSD. In "Timbre: Metaphors, Negatives, and Catch-alls" I provide an overview of the development of an aesthetic discussion of timbre in the 18th and 19th centuries. Next, in "Multiphonic Production on the Clarinet," I present a project detailing the acoustic underpinnings of playing multiple pitches simultaneously on the clarinet and practical pedagogical uses for exercises designed to assist in playing them. Finally I present the content and impetus of a long term performance project in which I interpreted several pages of Cornelius Cardew's epic graphic score Treatise.
