After leaking damning information on their government, the Hacker has found refuge in a foreign embassy. One step outside and Hacker would be arrested. As months and years pass, Hacker fears the public has forgotten this fateful sacrifice. One day, Madame Suzuki, a talking parrot and social media sensation, comes to the window. The Hacker captures Parrot and uses the bird as a PR tool to regain the attention of journalists and fans worldwide. Tensions soon arise between human and bird over their new empire. What is true freedom and what does it cost? Parrot cleverly manipulates the increasingly crazed Hacker to leap out of the window in the name of freedom, lording over the embassy room in peace.
Scene 4: What am I?
Having trapped Parrot, Hacker displays the bird in front of the paparazzi in order to reignite interest in their own cause. To hide Parrot’s origins and true identity—and to plant the idea of their release—Hacker changes Parrot’s name from Madam Suzuki to Amnesty, establishing control over the bird by drilling the new name. Parrot performs the aria “What am I?” at night while Hacker sleeps, following an episode with the paparazzi. Parrot sings and squawks in a half-dream state telling its story through snippets of imitated text and sounds picked up from its environment.

What is true freedom and what does it cost? Parrot cleverly manipulates the increasingly crazed Hacker to leap out of the window in the name of freedom, lording over the embassy room in peace.
Scene 1: Not a Word
Every morning, in an attempt to maintain their sanity, Hacker goes through the same routine,
which includes flipping through the newspaper hungrily in search of their name. Not finding any
mention of themselves yet again, Hacker sings the aria “Not a Word.” Disgusted and depressed
by the media’s coverage of some stupid parrot, Hacker returns to bed.

Lalaei (“lullaby” in Persian) was commissioned by Megan Ihnen as part of her recording project of miniature works for unaccompanied solo mezzo-soprano voice. I wrote this lullaby for voice and electronics inspired by a very well known soundtrack from Turtles Can Fly, composed by Hossein Alizadeh. The vocal quality that I imagined for this piece is an intimate voice that is both soothing and aching in lamentation.
Technical Requirements: Laptop, Stereo Speaker Setup, required cables.
Routing: Computer out to the speakers.

Instrument Type

This work is inspired by the orange dragoness sculpture presented to me by Tanja Bechtler. Being as One is divided into two sections and the harmonic language is derived from the cello’s open strings, their harmonic series, and an emphasis on intervals of 5ths and 4ths as a metaphor for stability and instability. As we, the human species, continue to struggle to coexist with nature, I hope Being as One can be an inspiration to reflect inward into our subconscious to re-discover our deep connection with the natural world.
Technical Requirements: Laptop, MAX/MSP software, Stereo Speaker Setup, required cables, USB pedal (if the performer wishes to control the electronics).
Routing: Computer out to the speakers, there is no live input for the electronics of this piece. All the materials are synthesized live on MAX/MSP.
