Pathophysiology of Stress-Induced Limbic Lobe Dysfunction: A Hypothesis for NDEs
This paper discusses the strong resemblance of near-death experiences (NDEs) to complex hallucinations associated with limbic lobe dysfunction. The paper presents the hypothesis that neurohormones with the capacity to influence hippocampal activity may also cause characteristics of NDE limbic lobe syndrome.

Meanings and Implications of NDEr Transformations: Some Preliminary Findings and Implications
This paper discusses the positive implications of experiencing NDEs. "The available evidence shows, in decreasing order of saliency: greatly increased concern for others; lessened fear of death and increased belief in an afterlife; increased religious interest and feeling, both non-institutionalized and institutionalized; and lessened desires for material success and approval of others" (abstract). "NDErs might be harbingers of a more humane future" (abstract).

The Book on Life Beyond by Bô Yin Râ: Death and Afterlife in Spiritual Perspective
"This paper seeks to draw attention to a comprehensive work on death-related questions, first published in 1920, that sheds light on crucial problems still discussed today. The author speaks from his extensive observations of the dying process and near-death phenomena, seen from a spiritual point of view, but, more importantly, discusses the inherent structure of nonphysical existence, where life no longer is perceived by mortal senses but rather, as he states, by virtue of a spiritual organism and its faculties" (abstract).

The work is scored for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets in B-flat, two tenor trombones, bass trombone, tuba, percussion, and strings.

Arda
Arda is an instrumental chamber work scored for cello, percussion, and multiple keyboards with a total duration of approximately thirteen minutes. The work is structured in an arch form whose divisions are based on instrumental and textual groupings. The pitch organization utilizes prominent intervals, improvised passages on certain passages on certain pitches, and the double harmonic mode, which is derived from an Indian raga. Various instrumental techniques are also used throughout the work to alter timbres as well as to create more interesting vertical sonorities.

Nightdreams
Nightdreams, a single-movement work for orchestra, is approximately nine and one-half minutes in duration. The concept for Nightdreams evolves from sketching three types of sounds as photographs: melodically oriented sounds, sound-mass texture, and vertical sonorities. A twelve-note set is used to construct the pitch content of the melodically oriented sounds. This set includes the intervals of a m2, M2, m6, and T. Sound-mass textures are constructed from the same intervals that are contained in the twelve-note set plus the addition of a m3 and a P5. Vertical sonorities use the linear aspect of the twelve-note set mapped onto a set of twelve different rhythms which alternate between non-retrogradable and retrogradable. Although the piece is contained in a single move-ment, there are twelve sections, each with its own characteristics.

...for the time is at hand : An Original Musical Composition
...for the time is at hand : An Original Musical Composition, for orchestra and tape, is a single movement work in five overlapping sections with a total duration of approximately twenty minutes. Using a stochastic composition program written in Hewlett-Packard BASIC, the final chord of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps serves as a "seed" to generate the "pitch density" (vertical pitch distribution), "timbre density"(vertical instrument distribution), and dynamics of the work.

The Wind Was There
The Wind Was There is a setting for soprano voice and orchestra of two poems by Bravig Imbs (1904-46). Imbs was an American writer active in France for most of his career. He was also a violinist and amateur composer. The piece is in two movements, with a total duration of approximately twenty-five minutes. Each movement represents a different stylistic approach to the musical material. Movement one represents the spirit, though not the harmonic language, of the early twentieth century. The second movement shows the influence of Lutoslawski and Lugeti. This eclectic approach was chosen due to the quite different moods imparted to me by the two poems.The relationship between the soprano and the orchestra is not one between soloist and accompaniment, but is more in the nature of a symphonic dialogue.

Finger Spirits: Piano Concerto
Finger Spirits is a concerto for piano and orchestra. The traditional concerto form of three, large, separate movements is not present here. It is a one-movement work in three continuous sections. Certain premises of the concerto are retained: (1) the interplay of soloists and orchestra; (2) the display of vistuosity; and (3) the use of fixed thematic elements. Throughout the performance, the pianist alternates playing actual notes with gestures used in manual communication and mimetic elaborations created by the composer. The gestures delineate shapes of particular objects and depict emotions that are present in the work as it unfolds. Finger Spirits explores the act of performance and alters the traditional concert ritual of audience-performer opposition. In addition, it incorporates gestures as an extension of the role of the pianist and thus represents a form of music theater.

It's All in the Cards
It's All in the Cards is an instrumental chamber work consisting of three movements for ten percussionists encircling the audience. The total duration of the piece is approximately thirteen minutes. Much of the rhythmic and melodic material, as well as the form, was determined by shuffling and dealing a standard deck of fifty-two cards. Other computational procedures have been used to achieve the effect of sound moving from one spatial location to another, an effect on which must be regarded as an essential factor in performance of the work.

The Contest: A Ballet for Orchestra and Prepared Tape
The Contest is a ballet scored for orchestra and tape. It was composed in the tradition of dramatic orchestral ballets and sets the biblical story from 1 Kings, chapter 18, verses 20-40. Certain portions of the work were written using computer assisted compositional programs developed by the composer. These programs were written in the BASIC programming language. Other sections of the score were composed intuitively, using no computer programs. The tape for the last movement was prepared on the Synclavier II digital syntesizer using the Script system and the Synclavier II keyboard instrument.
