"I compose acoustic and electronic music. These works could be termed “neo-impressionist” as I strive to present musical impressions of real and imaginary environments. I am also fascinated by temporal structures; I experiment with forms which are novel but hopefully perceivable by the listener. My ultimate goal is to create works with intriguing sonic surfaces and strong, meaningful structures."
Hello and hope all is well! I've created massage music for the mind using orchestrated melodic tones. I call it, "Warm Migration". http://warmmigration. com Hope you enjoy!
Cool... I'm in Missouri right now for the University of Central Missouri New Music Festival starting tomorrow. I was in Oklahoma City for the SCI Regional until last week--Dan Perttu had a fantastic performance there. I hope my piece gets done so well on Tuesday.
