Digital Hybrid is a concert program of my design that includes my original compositions mixed with Baroque and Renaissance works performed on marimba together with some established pieces of classical contemporary music. Each piece is connected to one another by means of transitions resulting from harmonic similarities and/or the dramatic shape of the presupposed “plot” of the whole video. The attempt is to realize these works that vary in generic characteristics and historical time periods into one big concert form that acknowledges their inextricable musical connections. The project results from my various explorations of my identity as a composer-performer, and its goal is to summarize the results of these explorations into one coherent musical form.
