Oh Boy is a found sound and keyboard collaboration with pianist-vocalist Jobi Mihajlovich.  It is composed primarily of sounds collected over the summer of 2006 contrasted against the collaborators melodies.  The piece has been reworked for submission to Audiospace. 

The work began being "written" in its current form in the span of an hour one night seemingly at random. The moment of eureka is the ultimate truth of the conception of this piece. The elements were there previously, but scattered. The assembly came on like a storm. The water spilled from the bathtub, so to speak, and a handful of fragments became a single, solid thing. Expressing the heart of the piece was a matter of the proper reconfiguration.The nature of the work is that it could have existed as a handful of meaningless particles. Materialization of the piece isn't in its assembly from nothing but its synthesis from those disparate particles.
