about

A collection of 14 short pieces for traditional and electronic instruments, CUSP was written entirely during February, 2020 when the pandemic was just visible on the horizon. For me, it's a reminder of how recently things went from normal to sideways.

On a less dramatic note, CUSP is my first large-scale attempt at blending classical and electronic styles. The word "cusp" is familiar to me in one context as a graphic designer, as a cusp node is a dramatic change in direction of a Bézier curve. A cusp has a similar appearance in medieval architecture. The usual definition of the word relates to being right on the edge of something, at the border between worlds.
