mobiles

I began the ongoing mobile project in 2003. Although many of my works involve some type of openness, this series of works explores a specific kind of mutability, the mobile: a work with parts that can change their relation to each other.

The goal is to compose a new mobile every year:

each with a unique instrumentation
each with its own way of being open

Most of the recent mobiles involve close collaboration with a soloist, include at least the possibility of electronics or video, and/or have open instrumentation.

I am grateful to all the collaborators who have propelled this project onward, by asking for a new one every year!
