-timbral trill – trill between two fingerings that create a similar pitch.
-split-tone – allow the lips to vibrate at different speeds in order to split the tone into two pitches. Aim at hitting the top note of the multiphonic and allow the embouchure to create the lower note in the dyad. Numbers indicate valves to be depressed.

program note
Compressor is a piece that looks at the way material reacts when parameters become forcefully constricted. The piece revolves around a game of textural upheaval between two gestures. As each gesture develops, it accrues rust and begins to become compressed in one parameter or another until the process ushers in the opposing material. This back-and-forth continues until the piece bucks its own programming and begins to expand, rather than compress. Compressor was written for yMusic.
