'COMPILATIONS' is a work about feelings, Iowa, the environment, aliens, war, and the George W. Bush administration. It is dedicated to all people suffering as a result of the actions of selfish individuals. All visuals are manipulated 35 mm slides taken during 1968 of Iowa landscapes. The source material for the music is a collection of various acoustic and electronic compositions created by the composer. The work is divided into two major sections; the second occurring halfway through the composition, signaled by a short period of silence and no visuals (black). One of the returned slides contained the end of the processed film which resulted in various shades of red with two yellow bars. This image was manipulated to aid the music in accelerating time, creating cadences, suggesting other minor divisions, and acts as a recurring visual cue throughout the entire piece. The composition is about hope and the expectations for a better world in the near future. As of January 20th, 2009, that hope and expectations for a better world is being realized.

(2-3) large screen monitors situated in front of the audience. This is not
ideal, but permissible.

Playback of Stereo Sound:
Stereo speakers are placed at ten feet or more from either side of the screen. If projected on a wall or uneven surface, in front or either front-side of the audience, speakers are placed at least 20 feet apart in front of audience.
