These Fragments I Have Shored Against My Ruins (2008)
And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
Eliot, "The Waste Land"

The fractured fragments of the lens through which we view the Self join together again - discerning their true relationships with themselves and each other. All having undergone Change, what was strewn about haphazardly becomes Remanifest into a coherent whole once again.

All of the notes and durations are based on a literal translation of the text into music, preserving the arrangement and meaning of the words in an alternate medium. This set of variations will feature radically divergent translations and interpretations of the text, realized using unnatural computer-generated sounds.

The Other Side of Oblivion (2008)

Time dilates obsessively and the laws of reality itself are rent beyond comprehension within the collapsed star looming below. Then, on the other side of the event horizon, the sounds drift along in their new and strange surroundings until eventually crushed under their own unfathomable density.
