Program Notes

I have never written a purely string ensemble or string quartet piece. Though after requests from the resident ensembles at SUNY and UCSC I began to hear the same requests: "Make it fun to play and Metal." Knowing that I was in Death Metal band since a teenager and all of my music in some sense has strong Metal aesthetics, they weren't asking me to go out on a limb. My goal with this piece was to satisfy their requests but also create a work that was challenging to listen to (despite it not being technically demanding). "Omnes Perituri" translates to "All Shall Perish" - a prominent band in the extreme metal scene for whom this work was originally written.
