“Urban Sunrise” is a humid, sultry aubade, much of whose audio material is generated from the sounds of nature. Distorted sounds of birds attempt to bring an eerie feel, an undulating tempo, and the basis of the saxophone’s melodic material. The saxophone ruminates throughout the piece, until the electronic element roots itself in a deep, harmonically driven climax, ending with the a choir of orioles singing at different rates using a supercollider patch. It was inspired by the sight of the sun rising over Druid Hill Park in Baltimore one hot summer.
