The Silence Is An Offering explores the language of sound -- the basis for communication and the conductor of our mutual understanding of one another. I see sound as a time-traveling vessel, connecting us to our homelands, our childhoods, our elders, and our ancestors. I also consider it to be our collective memory, our energetic food, and our homeostatic regulators as we are in continuous interaction with the sonic world.
The scores will be performed by a special ensemble featuring special guests King Sophia (cello), Zekkereya El-Marghbel (trombone), and Diego Perez-Cuellar (saxophone, electronics).
This event is a part of Detroit Month of Design.

The Alkhemy of Awakened Sound was created in 2023 as a reflection on my musical composition Alkhemy.
​
The graphic score series compares archetypical shapes and colors with human emotions, which are processed in performance through a combination of composed and improvised sounds.
The intentional re-imagining and interpreting of figures in this series implores the viewer to explore our innate methods of healing, grieving and growing as we reach towards wholeness.
Primary colors and primitive shapes are my selected tools for this intimate showcase.
