Binary Game No. 2 comes from a set of compositions that embrace the connections between players by mimicking dynamic computing processes. The goal of this composition was to play with the idea of delays in responsiveness. Throughout the composition, there are few moments of alignment between the saxophonist and the pianist with melodies, harmonies, and phrases being continuously offset creating a canon-like effect as if the two players are processing the same information at different times. I was inspired by the way in which rehearsals on digital communications platforms would be delayed and the ways in which that latency could be played with to create interesting musical textures. ­
