Press:

“It is not every day that an ensemble in Iceland, Duo Harpwerks, commissions me to compose a work for them. And it is even more amazing when an improvisation of their work "61" takes off and goes viral on Soundcloud to reach 2300 plays (!!!) in five days! Enjoy hearing it here on Reverbnation.”

“Ylla Redux, the Kansas City Electro-Music project CD, has currently taken Slate's attention away from "Extinction." Ylla Redux is inspired by Slate's rig that is centered on a Korg Kaossilator and a Sonuus G2M. The pair create new sonic textures from the sounds of nature, the Kaossilator, vocals and pitch-to-MIDI feedback loops. The story being scored is the romance between Ylla and Phileas Fogg on the Mars of the Goddesses Cycle.”

"A NEW ambient audiobook blends readings from the short story 'Extinction' with an original score of ambient, orchestral and folk music composed and performed by Slate. It is a story of loss, love, shamanic healing, transformation, and the the end of the world—with a twist!"

“The NEW 2-CD album "Space from Earth" is up in track order. It is a orchestral tour of the solar system with some intense X-songs. Try "Dinosaur Killer" or "The Asteroids, Bringers of Chaos"!”

“The NEW CD "Slow Spring" is up in track order. Some experimental music—tagged (OX)—blending traditional and microtonal scales is included. "A Slowly Tilting Planet" is hauntingly beautiful. Enjoy!”
