about

(musical sound scores for dance, 2022-3)

These pieces were made while thinking of dancers moving in, near and with the ocean.

"notre tom" is in memory of composer-performer-sculptor Tom Nunn.

For Nancy, Margaux and all the people of Alonzo King Lines Ballet.

(Headphones recommended. Shuffle play encouraged.)

Some parts of this album were included in the score for Alonzo King's ballet Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled, performed with Lisa Fischer (live vocals) and photo projections by Richard Misrach and Clayton de l'Armee. The ballet premiered in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on April 15, 2023.

Parts of this album also appeared under the name "tollr-ourlea" on Soundcloud in 2022.
