A Hunger Artist (from KAFKA, concerto for solo tenor saxophone, chamber orchestra and live electronics) - James M. DavidFranz Kafka is without question one of the most fascinating and profound writers of the twentieth century, and his works captivated my attention from a very young age. "A Hunger Artist" centers around the protagonist's torture, heard in microtonal clouds of distorted sounds.Fantasy Etudes, Book I - James M. Davidi. LS/SR

I was profoundly inspired to write a work in memory of György Ligeti after learning of his passing in 2005. Drawing from his Piano Etudes, each movement utilizes a different rhythmic process as the primary motivating force. Originally composed in 2006 for trumpet and piano, this work has been adapted for saxophone and digital media. |
