minimum is scored for four parts with flexible and expandable instrumentation. The compositional process was in essence based on the concept of code arts instigated by my not-so-fruitful experiment with Processing software. The oddly amusing part of the compositional process was to spend an era on constructing a formula of which the whole composition was structured and derived upon. The bonus enjoyment for me was to create synchronized animated visual, synced via embedded click track, to accompany the composition. To maintain the spirit of flexibility, I continued my mega-fun to produce six variants of visualization for performers or conductor to choose from.

minimum is scheduled to be premiered by NEBratsche Viola Ensemble on 26 April 2009, featuring fine violists Jeff Bunker, Jonathan Crosmer, Jordan Ellis, Chelsea Hanen, Laura Kilmer, Derek Mosloff, Courtney Watkins, and Lexi Woodard with Clark Potter serving as conductor.
