Awake, Alive, Amok, Ajar (2015)
I was quite fortunate to receive the 2015 Barlow Prize, which was a commission for a major new work for saxophone quartet. This fantastic opportunity allowed me to collaborate with Zzyzx, PRISM, and the United States Air Force Quartets. In 2020, The US Air Force Horizon Saxophone Quartet finished a full studio recording of this piece for a forthcoming release.
