Inside a Cloud of Butterflies (2011, dur. circa 10:00”) for guitar and interactive electronics was commissioned by Stefan Östersjö. Inspired by the evocative imagery of a poem by Robert Gregory, this work provides my own interpretation of the sonic journey through a cloud of butterflies with all of its implied frenetic activity. The sonic palette of this work focuses on both wood and string sounds, including both sampled and physically modeled sounds.
