What's New
I am a classically trained composer taking my journey into the world of writing music and getting it performed. My passion is to compose for live instruments and I am venturing into pieces that combine instrument and tape. What a journey it is becoming. I have three new pieces in the works and they will be performed in the end of March! Tons to get ready!
