The premiere of “Pulse Rising” for electric guitar and live electronics - a work combining esoteric lyricism and tribal house rhythms - was premiered at The Stonewall Inn as part of Composers Concordance Generations XV concert.

"Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that

went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it." - George Orwell
