Edifice & Alchemy is incidental music to accompany Jacob Rowan’s five-part master’s thesis talk, presented in March 2020 at the Bitsy Irby Art Gallery at Belhaven University.  The score was realized by members of the Belhaven Composers Forum; it involves a series of "incidental" cues, each of which deploys notated musical material in partially improvised structures, coordinated with Jacob's talk.  Audience members were seated in the center of the gallery, surrounded by Jacob's artworks as they listened to Jacob's talk and the accompanying music.
