Below that point, it just becomes another Nielsen casualty.  This sets up a difficult balance in media that is intended to bring knowledge and understanding, such as news and documentaries.  The informational can be pushed towards sensational in an attempt to reach and maintain critical mass. _criticalMass|Media_ is a composition for Saxophone and Interactive Electronics w/ optional realtime video. It was composed for Griffin Campbell and performed at the North American Saxophone Association, Leeds, SEAMUS and more. ---- ----  > Social DisOrder exhibit opening  > Social DisOrder prep  > Griff Campbell with live video  > SEAMUS Performance ---- [](criticalMass-Media.pdf) > Score for criticalMass\|Media
