Hi there!

Admittedly, I’m not very comfortable with self-promoting. I often struggle with it. However, since this is my new website and it’s still very much a work in progress, here’s a little something to hold you over until I add more exciting stuff like media files, perusal scores, and blog updates.

tl;dr

  • I compose music for podcasts, video games, online media, TV, short films, and audio dramas.
    • My music company offers original source material, including sample libraries, VST soundbanks, SFX, and royalty-free production music.
  • I’m a classically trained pianist and composer working in sound design for the past 20 years.
  • Some of my current side projects include building modular synths and creating patches for software synthesizers.
  • My digital recorder goes everywhere with me – I love discovering new sounds … (from sound).
  • I’m a music teacher and sound designer, planning to go back to school for my doctorate.
  • I create free e-learning content that focuses on LilyPond, Pure Data, and sound design.
  • Originally I was a MUED major before switching to music theory & composition.
    • In the 7th grade I composed my very first piece (it was terrible).
    • I’m interested in opportunities where I can explore writing for collaborative mixed-media installations, short films, dance, or working with other multidisciplinary artists.
    • Many of my compositions include improvised music, noise, and field recordings.
  • I’m proud to support the strong and vibrant new music scene in the Boston area.
  • I love musical puzzles.
  • I wear many hats.
  • I always have wicked bad hat hair.
  • This is by far the most I’ve ever used the first-person singular nominative case personal pronoun in one setting.

Thank You

I would like to thank all of my teachers for helping me to become the musician and composer I am today. I am so grateful to all of them for their dedication, motivation and inspiration. Each one of them always pushed me to be a better musician, a more confident performer, and to believe in myself. Especially during my undergraduate years – when I had many external factors out of my control which impacted my academic achievements and ability to fully engage with the department – my teachers continued to try to guide me through it all. They knew my potential. They never gave up on me. I have gratitude in my heart for all of their guidance and patience with me.

It would bring me such joy to become a professor of music where I too can help guide, encourage, and nurture young composers as they find their own voice and shape the course of the next generation of new concert music.

Links

If you would like to see a list of my compositions, here is the link for that. The scores and media materials will be available for free perusal or for purchase/rental in the coming weeks. I’m moving all my media files over to SoundCloud for hosting.
