"It's like a lifetime compressed into an hour...I didn't want it to end"
Michael Knight, Helene Wurlitzer Foundation
I listened very rarely to so beautiful and poetic music made with so many environmental sounds. FRANÇOISE BARRIÈRE, September, 2008
In lake'ch
or "I am another yourself" is a lifetime compressed into an hour...the universe unfolding one sound at a time...it is a sonic journey that is unique to each listener...a vacation from the prescription of pop culture...a reality that you get to create through sound...This is music that came through me, not from me. This music has Qi...life energy that will transport you to a destination of your own choosing...to a place within your own mind...your own experience...within your own spirit and soul.
I am a composer, writer, teacher and life-long student and adventurer. My music has performed around the world and is made of sounds from the cactus of the desert, the kitchen, inside, outback and even occasionally from chamber and orchestral instruments. I have a love affair with sound that has led from radio programs in London and Aspen Colorado, to orchestral and chamber concert works to interactive, installation, and cinematic works, with, and without visuals. In addition to being recognized by his close friends and family, I have received awards from the Fulbright and Wurlitzer Foundations, Bourges Electroacoustic Music Competition, EMS (Sweden), SEAMUS, Meet the Composer, the American Composer’s Forum, SCI, National Music Teacher’s Association and the Missouri Music Teacher’s Association. I have done a lot of work to promote the music of living composers including curating concerts throughout South American and Europe. I lecture widely on sound in film and timbral practice in music. I pay my bills by teaching at the University of Missouri at Kansas City and have an avid interest in bicycling, hiking, camping, and mountaineering. In 1994 I completed the Colorado Grand Slam after climbing all 54 of Colorado's 14,000 ft peaks, and this is the thing I am the most proud of. I still hopes some day to go above 20,000 ft.
My music defies boundaries, does not fit into any box, is highly visual and cross-genre. Most recent works come from a deeply spiritual place of life and transformation. In lake'ch..., a work of symphonic proportions in 13 movements, has been called "a lifetime compressed into an hour" and "the creation of the world one sound at a time"...it is a journey into the now, and beyond...
