about

During my master's degree, Dr. L. Keith White helped form Power Cycle, an experimental electronic trio of composers - J.R. Edwards, Breck McGough, and myself, Santiago Ramones. Since all three of us were graduate composition majors studying electroacoustic music with him, Dr. White had us collaborate and create a series of concerts called "Electric Pizza". Each month, Power Cycle would make a concert's worth of new electronic music to be performed at the UCO Jazz Lab, each with a theme or idea to guide our composition and experimentation. For the April 10th, 2019 concert, the theme was "With a Little Help from Our Friends", which was to encourage collaboration with musicians outside of the trio. Quickly and somewhat randomly (I think at Dr. White's behest), I put together "A Voyage" to be a background electronic track for other musicians in the audience to come on stage and improvise with us. I didn't think much of the track until I started looking through tracks to put on this EP, and so I shortened the track and added a bass line, and here you go. It does not have the live instruments from that concert.
Originally performed on April 10th, 2019, at the UCO Jazz Lab, titled "With a Little Help from Our Friends", and featured live improvisation from Michael Blanton on bass guitar, Keegan Darrow on drums, J.R. Edwards on cello, Dr. Steve Hansen on electric guitar, Dr. Brian Lamb on trumpet, Dr. Samuel Magrill on piano, Julia McConnell on voice and poetry, Breck McGough on piano, Stephanie Peñate on synthesizer, Santiago Ramones on electronics, and Dr. Tess Remy-Schumacher on cello. You can watch the video of this performance on Power Cycle's YouTube channel.
