Requiem for a High Homicide Enclave

In spring 2008 i started writing Requiem for a High Homicide Enclave which is a deconstruction of Purcell’s Funeral Music for Queen Mary (1694) that is based on excerpts from the from the LA Times Homicide Report which documents every murder that takes place in Los Angeles County using blog posts, comments, and Google Maps.

we (sylvia desrochers (soprano) paul cummings (bass) bruce gallegos (electric guitar) and myself (laptop and kaossilator) premiered the piece at the REDCAT Spring Studio in may 2008.

i am planning to record the piece in spring 2009 and are scheduling performances for 2009-2010.

video is under construction and shall return soon. until then you can listen to the audio of the premier performance
