Instrumental Music
In my acoustic works, I aim to translate the ethereal textures and sound explorations of the electronic media into the instrumental realm. In my acoustic writing you can often find a purposeful use of extended techniques, and a colorful palette of textures, and effects that interact with atomic motives and pounding rhythms. The juxtaposition of noise and lyrical melodies make for a music that is both forward-looking and rooted in tradition.
In this section you will find examples of my Large Ensemble, Chamber Ensemble, and Solo Instrument works.
"Romantic symphonic music of tragedy and loss is evoked without compromising the twenty-first century edge of industrialized brutality".
