Point Blank (2010) for chamber ensemble, was inspired by the sounds, rhythms and virtuosity of New York City-based new music ensemble Alarm Will Sound. Featuring synthetic sound worlds and tightly interlocking percussion ideas, the drum set, timpani and strings whirl the ensemble through an array of electronically inspired orchestrations, while the winds and brass shriek for dear life. Point Blank is a central processing unit of floating point tremelos, discrete pizzicatos, multi-threading scales and random access modulations.
