Chaowen Ting, Director of Orchestral Studies at Georgia Institute of Techology invited me to be their virtual composer in residence in the fall of 2020. Collaborating with the Technology Ensemble class, I created a new EYEmusic graphic Suite using the students writings as a starting point. The video links below detail their creative process describing writing their stories, interpreting the graphic score inspired by their writing, and then creating performances from the graphic score and story.
