Hithering Thithering Djinn (2009- ) The hithering thithering djinn is an interactive music engine for trumpet and computer. Through a combination of a wireless microphone and gestural controllers nested into the body of the trumpet, I am able to activate and control an array of real-time audio manipulation tools, rhythmically structured sample playback engines, and live sound diffusion. This interactive software environment is flexible enough to be used in multiple contexts, but was created with a distinct compositional voice - a set of limits and possibilities that provide a skeletal structure for the improvisational content.
