I’ve played the piano since I was six, and pounded on it since I was tall enough to climb onto the bench. I hoped to be a concert pianist, but found I had more fun improvising than practicing. At some point, it occurred to me that I could change my focus to composing, and refer to my playtime as work.
Since then I’ve earned a BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Music Composition and Technology. I’ve written scores for twelve independent films, as well as music for dance and other visual media. I’ve studied composition with Keith Carpenter, Ron Foster, Ilya Levinson, and Emmy award winning composer Hummie Mann. Performers of my works include Grammy award winning composer/trumpeter Terence Blanchard, and the New Millennium Orchestra. I am currently pursuing an MFA in Music Composition for the Screen and Columbia College Chicago.
I hope my love for the structured blending of sound comes across in every one of my pieces, and that through it I am able to convey an appreciation for life that I cannot put into words
Very very good music. Listening "Pax Vobiscum", I was thinking to Mark Isham. Your other tracks are very good too. Your sounds are excellent. Cello, violins, very beautiful. I like your atmosphere. You remember me Roger Eno, the Brian's brother. Do you know him ?
Your music is excellent. Thank you very much Luke.
