A miniature (8x11 inch paper size) PDF score of Carol's Cliff is available here.

Carol's Cliff was written for pianist (who chants & plays a bit of percussion) 2 percussionists (who also chant a bit), and live mixed electronics. The title refers to my parents, Carol and Cliff Geers, to whom the music is dedicated. The piece consists of seven sections which run atacca. Most of the sections (#1, 3, 5, &6) have significant amounts of both live playing and electronics. Two sections (#2 & 4) are nearly entirely devoid of electronic sounds, and one section (#6) is electronics only. All of the electronic music consists of voice and telephone sounds, processed to varying degrees. This recording is taken from a performance on June 26, 1998 at Corbett Auditorium, Cincinnati, Ohio. Adam Bowles, piano; Stuart Gerber, percussion 1; Brian Short, percussion 2; and Douglas Geers, electronics.
