Program Notes: 
    Initially subtitled “a velocitic car piece for buddy," To Boston for Sex is like a brusque and dangerous car ride into the night; a serpentine and primitive moto perpetuo teeming with remembered teen angst and jealousy (the original version when I was, this revision came later in 2008), kind of like new music screamo.
  Now, 10 years later, having overcome those ridiculous angst-ridden years, I find it fascinating how much style from this piece has surprisingly informed much of my later and current music. Unlike now, where I prefer to create heterophonic textures that are blurred, distorted and nuanced, the stark monophony of To Boston for Sex is raw, muscular and primitively rude.
