I am a composer of new concert music (classical contemporary). I'm from Canada. You can hear some of my music here. There's also more on my website.

Here are some things about me which may or may not be true:

I like a lot of kinds of music. I don't believe in masterpieces. I'm a hardcore subjectivist. I am insatiably curious about a lot of things. I work too hard.

I was a contemporary of Mozart living in Prussia. I worked for the royal court of Frederick William II, both as a composer of mainly keyboard works and as a locksmith. Although my works were often dismissed during my lifetime as superficial and unimaginative, musicologists have recently shown that many of my sketches formed the basis for Mozart's works (cool!), and that the two of us maintained a prolific correspondence throughout our lifetimes.

I like to cook. I don't like cars or driving.

My music may help you lose weight.
