The enclosed series is ongoing, and takes place at what I take to be a point of intersection between the works of composers Alvin Lucier and Michael Pisaro. Simple motions take place within a tightly confined space. The interaction of these ‘made’ sounds with their environment yields complex and unpredictable results. enclosed I and II are restricted in register, III and V in physical space, and IV by intervals between played and sung notes and by types of motion. These pieces are studies for the composer-as-listener and for the performer-as-listener, and an invitation to you as a member of the audience to have your own experience of an unrepeatable event.
