Cover, Package and CD design: fetusFawn Ritual is an album of through-written compositions for varied instrumental ensembles which include flute, violin, clarinet, bass clarinet, alto and bari sax, valve trombone, electric guitar, electronics, and a hard-driving rhythm section. These compositions were workshopped and have appeared in various contexts in Boston and Los Angeles since 2009. The musical materials found in Rituals 3 and 4 first appeared in a chamber composition called 'Cat and Mouse', written in 2009 for flute, clarinet, viola, cello, piano and 3 percussionists. Earlier forms of Rituals 1 and 2 played key recurring roles as leitmotifs in Killsonic's 2010 experimental opera, 'Tongues Bloody Tongues,' which was performed for 3 nights in July of 2010 in Disney Hall's REDCAT theater. Earlier in 2013, Dominique composed and conducted a live chamber score for a new theater work, Starcrosser's Cut. The piece was a collaboration with playwright/director Joseph Tepperman, with whom he last worked in 2011 on "Tongues Bloody Tongues", a critically-acclaimed experimental opera staged in Disney Hall's REDCAT by Killsonic. This year's experimental theater work, a fictional, dreamlike reconstruction of the police interview after the arrest of infamous NASA astronaut, Lisa Nowak, received six performances from June 6-16, 2013 in Los Angeles. The piece was featured and praised in multiple mainstream publications including LA Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, USA Today and LA Stage Times. Dominique has also recently written pieces for soprano Tony Arnold, ECCE, Ensemble L'Arsenale, the Genkin Philharmonic, the Lydian String Quartet, the Radnofsky Saxophone Quartet, the Formalist String Quartet, Nimbus Ensemble and Killsonic, a mobile band of horns, drums and accordions with whom he regularly played trombone between 2007-2010 while living in LA. His music has been performed and presented in New York, LA, San Francisco, Boston, Buffalo, Berlin, and Auvillar, France, among others. As a trombonist he has performed at such festivals as Coachella, Bumbershoot, San Diego Street Scene, and San Francisco Outside Lands. Planned projects for the Spring of 2014 include a new piece for New York's Talea Ensemble and a sinfonietta-sized ensemble piece to be performed at Brandeis University.
