Composer
My compositions span many different media and genres. I seek balance between innovation and accessibility, motivated by a belief that contemporary music can be genuinely progressive and communicative at the same time. To me, the amazing new sound palettes available in contemporary music only realize their full potential if they succeed in connecting with listeners: meaning and expression are everything.
Please contact me if you are interested in acquiring scores, and please let me know if you perform any of my pieces!
