This piece uses proportional notation where each system is divided into 20" (second) intervals. The time notated does not have to be exact unless notated with a dashed vertical line. This could lead the performer to accelerate or decelerate to match up to the dashed vertical lines. The saxophone part has lots of freedom when it comes to vibrato. The piano part will naturally get faster as notes get less space between them.
I composed this piece to reflect the experience I had one evening watching a tornado form before my eyes.

Roger Admiral - Piano

Silent Windows is a piano piece that incorporates strict rhythm and lax feeling creating a conflicting dilemma for the musician.
Liner Notes:
Silent Windows Movement 3 Performer Notes
This movement is based on a chord that consists of G# D# F C#. Start at the top phrase. Keep pedal down for each repetition of the pattern and reset pedal at the end of the patterns repetitions.
Performer can then choose to go either left or right downward after you have done the stated repetitions. Once the path is declared, continue in sequence until the bottom pattern. Once there, performer can choose either left or right again and continue back up to the top pattern after the stated repetitions have been done.
Once back at the top, perform the repetitions and keep the pedal down and let the notes fade to nothing. The oval in the middle illustrates this concept.
Performer:
Roger Admiral - Piano

Ascending Dreams was composed to show how video can enhance ones experience of live music. By itself, the music is a complete entity, but lacks context. To add context, there will be gameplay footage from a video game called Against The Wall, by Michael Consoli (used with permission), playing in the background as the performers play the piece.
The ensemble does not have to respond to the video in any way. The video is for the audience as they will connect both the gameplay footage and the music as being one entity instead of two. The duration of the piece is 6 minutes long, same as the gameplay footage.

A Letter From YEG (2015) is an ambient piece which incorporates three completely original works. These works are called Audio Postcards (coined by CASE, the Canadian Association of Sound Ecology). Audio Postcards are modified audio recordings that are suppose to “capture an aural image of a place, moment, or region of Canada” (CASE Website). The three Audio Postcards are exactly two minutes in length and include audio recordings from all over Edmonton, Alberta.

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
Autumn Winds (2015) is a piece in which merges audio recorded before I left for university and audio recorded after I had graduated. Most of the audio clips come from my hometown. Whether it be recordings from my backyard or of my guitar-playing, I have included them in this piece. I then glue the piece together using recordings of my current guitar-playing ability to reflect the T.S. Eliot quote above.

Serenity Ranch (2014) is an electroacoustic composition that is suppose to be accompanied by video [both the audio and the audio-visual rendition are available in your EP package]. The piece utilizes numerous field recordings which were recorded at midnight at Birch Bay Ranch which is located in Sherwood Park, Alberta. The audio-visual combination attempts to create a creepy atmosphere for the participant.

Alien Machina (2014) is an electroacoustic piece which portrays a dream that I had one night. In this dream, I watched an alien come down to earth and encountered all the negative aspects of our society. The Alien was so appalled at what he experienced that after wandering Earth for a few days, it decided to leave our planet. This is his journey.

Whatever Is True (2015) is an ambient piece which encapsulates some of the various playing and recording techniques I have learned from 2011 - 2015. The piece consists of 18 audio recordings recorded at various locations on the University of Alberta campus located in the heart of Edmonton, Alberta. Each audio recording captures a location on the campus which is of significance to me. The idea of this piece was to combine a physical locations' aural surroundings with the sentimental value an individual places on a specific physical space.
