This work is an exploration in four-part polyphony. Recent performances of his music include New York City (New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival), Romeoville, Illinois (Electronic Music Midwest), Cleveland, Mississippi (Electroacoustic Juke Joint), Gainesville, Florida (Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival), Belgrade, Serbia (Art of Sounds Festival), and Santiago, Chile (Festival Ai-Maako). Matthew Dotson is currently pursuing a PhD in Composition at the University of Iowa where he has studied with Lawrence Fritts, John Eaton and David Gompper in addition to assisting in the operations of the Electronic Music Studios. The samples I utilized were determined by randomly selecting a date and then extracting a small motive from the composition of that particular day. “60 Morneaus” is a collage of 60 samples taken from David Morneau’s 60x365 project in which Morneau produced a new work every day for one full year. Halsey performs his music live with his band, aesthetic evidence, often collecting and incorporating audience member's voices into the performances in real-time. His work explores a balance of control between participants' input, algorithmic randomness and his own compositional decisions. Both his installations and musical performances make extensive use of spoken human voice recordings as musical elements, alongside traditional and electronic instruments. Halsey Burgund is a musician and sound artist living outside Boston. Sometimes you get lucky the first time around. The entire piece is built out of one spoken audio sample which was the first clip I recorded when I began composing for 60圆0. "I Don't Know" was composed using a custom built MaxMSP patch developed initially for my installation "Beat Vox".
