I was a guest on the May 21st episode of composer Paul Steenhuisen's podcast, Soundlab. Paul kindly allowed me to repost our discussion here. For those who are not familiar with Paul's excellent podcast, I urge you to subscribe — there are links below.

We discussed my compositional background and aesthetics, and talked in some depth about my cantata, Iridescent Notation. The occasion was the work's Canadian premiere in Toronto on May 26th, 2019 at the Betty Oliphant Theatre. Maeve Palmer sang the demanding soprano part, and Robert Aitken conducted the New Music Concerts ensemble.
