for guitar and processing, 2013, duration: 6 minutes.
“Appears Then Moves Away” for guitar and digital processing was composed in 2013. Processing in the work involves several modules that delay, pitch shift, pan, smear, or record and playback the guitar sound. Although most parameters of the piece are precisely controlled and notated, there is no metric pulse. Instead there is considerable freedom for the performer to “time” events according to expressive and emotional involvement of the performance.
