I Remember Rain... - Video with Music
"I Remember Rain" was composed using Logic Pro DAW software and a live recording of an Indian rain dance that accompanies a film by CSUF student filmmakers Marvin Pham and Victoria Laymon as part of the Spring 2018 Interarts Collaborative Projects Symposium with the assistance of the CSUF Visual Arts Department. This piece, which premiered at the symposium, is a three-part story on the subject of rain, the loss of rain from man-made industrialism, and the attempt to recreate its presence through scientific innovation.…"I Remember Rain" was composed using Logic Pro DAW software and a live recording of an Indian rain dance that accompanies a film by CSUF student filmmakers Marvin Pham and Victoria Laymon as part of the Spring 2018 Interarts Collaborative Projects Symposium with the assistance of the CSUF Visual Arts Department.

The Cay - New Opera by Vinicio Murillo
Based on Theodore Taylor’s 1969 famous novel, The Cay deals with Phillip Enright, an eleven-year-old boy who becomes shipwrecked after a torpedo attack one night in the Caribbean during WWII and is rescued by a tall but old Jamaican man. Phillip is a white boy who grew up looking down on black people, but must now put his trust in this old black man in order to survive.
The Cay is written for counter-tenor, baritone, piano, and percussion and is an excerpt for a potential #opera in progress that utilizes both traditional and proportional notation with special symbols and playing techniques of my own design.
For this excerpt, the story is a potential first act and takes place the morning after the sinking of the ship, the Hato. Phillip lies asleep floating on a life raft out on the open sea and in a dreaming state. He then wakes up and sees Timothy, who asks him if he feels alright after a “terrible crack on his head.”
Phillip panics, calling out for his mother, and discovers he is shipwrecked and all alone with Timothy and a cat. The tall, old man tells him not to worry since many schooners go by their way and that someone is bound to rescue them.
As the two slowly begin to get to know one another, the young boy experiences a terrible headache. Timothy tells him to lie down and rest for a while and not to look directly at the sun. He then tells him that they have supplies and enough water in a keg in their raft. Phillip soon realizes he cannot see his own hand and, slowly, begins to lose his eyesight.
It is discovered, later in the novel, that his headache was caused by a piece of timber that had damaged his eye nerves during the night the ship was torpedoed and thus what causes young Phillip to go blind. Timothy will therefore protect him, as well as help him survive once they reach a nearby cay, a lonely island somewhere along the Devil’s Mouth, where they both learn to work together and wait to be rescued.
Timothy (Baritone): Grande Sean Coles
Phillip (Counter-Tenor): Jacob Hall
Piano: Tyler Kleib
Percussion: Kristian De Leon and Vinicio Murillo

Three Episodes for Percussion Solo - Episode III, Stained-Glass Mosaic
This piece is a collection of episodes, each one comprised of a 5 x 6 grid of colored and uncolored squares. Each square, or measure, is played as a brief musical idea(s) of improvisation, which is left open for interpretation by the performer based on specific colors. Every measure—including white measures that are indicated to denote “silence”—should be no more than 10 to 15 seconds in total duration. The performer can use a stopwatch, a cell phone, or some other device to help keep time.
The soloist for this piece must begin playing from the first square indicated by the arrow and move consecutively to the next square then go to the next row in the same direction again until the very last square. The soloist also has the option of moving to the next row from the closest measure (square) or simply to the beginning of the next row.
For Episode III, the soloist is encouraged to play each measure using a full range of dynamics as well as extended techniques for each instrument. Some suggestions include, but are not limited to, playing with finger tips or knuckles, switching from drum sticks to wire brushes, dampening or muffling, or using coin scrapes for the suspended cymbal. The player can start on any of the indicated arrows; an arrow going up or down indicates playing upwards or downwards by the corresponding direction then moving to the next row by the nearest measure.
This piece was improvised using colors that match a specific instrument and inspired by the design of naval flags and uses theatrics. The music style is heavily dependent on the performer and improvised on the spot in the style of Cecil Taylor and other composers of new music.…This piece is a collection of episodes, each one comprised of a 5 x 6 grid of colored and uncolored squares.
