The electronic portion was realized at the Cummings Electronic and Digital Sound Studio of Connecticut College in New London, CT, in the summer of 2014.

“Electronic Miniature” had its origins in a small collection of exercises designed to demonstrate various electronic music possibilities to students who were encouraged to explore audio suite plug-ins in my Electroacoustic Music course.  

The emerging composition became a brief study in musical contrasts: pitch vs. noise, soft vs. loud, tune vs. chords, simple sine waves vs. layers of timbral complexity, sustained lines vs. rapid rhythmic interjections, agitation vs. calm, violence vs. peace.  The work was realized at the Cummings Electronic and Digital Sound Studio at Connecticut College where it was completed in January of 2014.  “Electronic Miniature” received its premiere performance in late February of that year at the 14th Biennial Symposium on Arts and Technology at Connecticut College in New London, Connecticut.
