A new work based on Charles Bukowski’s short story Six Inches. Here an excerpt: “Sarah got me down to being 6 inches tall. She carried me to the store in her purse. I could look out at the people through the little air holes she had poked in her purse. I will say one thing for the woman. She still allowed me to have my beer. I drank it by the thimble. A quart would last me a month. In the old days it was gone in 45 minutes. I was resigned. I knew that if she wished to do so she could make me vanish entirely. Better 6 inches than nothing.”
Aldo Pedro Poy. Semifinal of the national championship 1971 12/19/1971 55′.
Spectral filtering using Spear. Duration: 51”
The work is a derivative composition from pieces by other composers. It is a homage that celebrates many preexisting compositions without fixing to any of them. An idea formed by many other ideas with only one unique element, this very performance.

The Big Band at Concordia College conducted by artist extraordinaire Russell Peterson, premiered my recent work Leonardo on April 11. Super exciting news!
Program notes about the work:
The piece is about Leonardo’s Pizzeria located on the corner of 13th St. and University Avenue in Gainesville, Florida. It is also about the composer Leonardo Balada. It is not about Leonardo Da Vinci.
There is a video of the live performance here.

Album Description: After the 2014 release of the metallic-tinged electroacoustic compilation “Sonic Flux,” EMPiRES sought to organize a compilation of music by composers and performers from the southeastern United States. Here in this second compilation volume, there is an overarching evocation of discord present across the 10 tracks, musically depicted not only in harmony and timbre, but also in rhythm, space, form, and contrasting characters of sound source elements. With this theme fortuitously arising out of the contributed recordings, it was fitting to use the title “Discordia,” taken directly from the title of the album’s cover art by Frances Jemini.
