featuring Julian Sommer on cello

My music is oriented inward. Sound as space: a place to be. I am focused on cultivating spaces for contemplation, reflection, meditation and journeying.

My work blends through composed material with aleatory and improvisation. I want performances to be processes of exploration for everybody, audience and performers. I want to surprise myself. The openness of my scores is an invitation: to take risks, to be spontaneous, to be open, and heartfelt, and free.

The music I write might be considered ambient and minimalist inspired chamber music, although it pains one to delimit oneself. Change is, afterall, the only constant in life. I have also worked with electric, electronic, and found sound sources, as well as spoken word.

I also owe a bit to various American experimentalist composers for opening my eyes to the malleability of musical notation.

I have created music for performance, film, television, installations, and guided meditations.
