Fifteen years ago, I had been on California soil scarcely a month when I stumbled into Davies Symphony Hall. Immediately, Michael Tilson Thomas & the San Francisco Symphony blew my musical mind. The inaugural SFS American Mavericks festival featured some of the most demanding & audacious symphonic programs I had ever encountered梖rom John Cage to David Del Tredici? through ingenious programming & presentation, the experience was thoroughly engaging & fun. That spirit of joyful adventure is what I so cherish about Michael & the SFS, & why this release is such a milestone for me.
The 3 pieces on this album are my largest electro-acoustic works, my wildest explorations into the power of an expanded symphonic palette & its implications for imaginative new forms. The electronic sounds range from glaciers to industrial techno to a NASA spacewalk, which raises the creative challenge of integrating them into the orchestra & thereby taking the medium to new places. New sounds have often provoked new forms throughout music history梩hink of the Technicolor textures of Berlioz & Wagner bringing to life ingenious programmatic forms?& I look to the digital world as an important 21st century expansion of the orchestral sound world.
Michael has been a tremendous mentor over the years, always challenging me with obscure listening assignments &, often, actual composition assignments (The B-Sides began as a response to Schoenberg抯 5 Pieces for Orchestra). During my years in the Bay Area, it has been quite a trip to migrate from SFS audience member to contributing composer, & the San Francisco Symphony continues to be my window into the limitless possibilities of an orchestra.
