Ayehli Alexandra Gardner, (un)selfish object Baljinder Sekhon, and The Hinchinbrook Riffs Nigel Weslake are the latest compositions detailed in the database. Ayehli was written in the wake of the September 11 attacks and is the composer's attempt to transform tragedy into beauty. The Hinchinbrook Riffs is Westlake's second work for marimba and digital delay but uses a different approach to the writing than his first work. Sekhon's (un)selfish object relies on pitch tracking software to trigger sound files throughout the performance.

Three new works are detailed in the database: Verve Chris Paul Harman, Quaderno Flo Menezes, and White Knight and Beaver Martin Wesley-Smith. Quaderno is the first work with live electronics detailed in the database. Also, two big changes to the database make it cleaner and easier to use: 1) the Basic View of the database is now a single, sortable table, and 2) each composition now has its own detailed page so you can easily share a work with others!
