Immaculata Erotica was composed in Oberlin, Ohio (2008). One might regard this piece as a melding of two sensitivities. The performance physicalizes timbre and simultaneously the music sonifies texture. The meeting point is an erogenous zone where I hope to reveal their embrace. This addresses a problem similar to the paradox of immaculate conception, reproduction without sex, sex without touching. What does it feel like to have sex without touching? What does an instrument sound like without playing it?
