Music

I write music for a variety of instruments in whatever style currently interests me. I use a vintage copy of Sibelius 2.1 and occasionally FL Studio 4. In middle and high school I studied composition with Samuel Jones.

Frequently I find myself collaborating with my close friend and classmate Lucas Johnson, who is an eclectic musician from Maryland.

I also study piano in order to expose myself to new musical influence. In Seattle I studied with Claire Marshall and William Chapman Nyaho. At Stanford I was a student of Kumaran Arul and George Barth.

These projects are not shown in chronological order, or really any particular order at all.

Acoustic

Torus is a rotating piece for three steelpan players that premiered in April 2010.

Cajolery in B Minor is currently the only piece I've written for full orchestra.

Indago Felix is a small-ensemble piece written through a composition program at the Seattle Symphony.

I am heavily involved with Stanford University's steelpan band, Cardinal Calypso.

Circumvesuviana is a quintet for pitched percussion that takes its name from the Mount Vesuvius railway in Italy.

I co-wrote and recorded a soundtrack for a 5-minute film, Nocturne for Two, on piano, accordion, and pipe organ.

I arranged the orchestral score for Ivanha, a surreal and somewhat self-indulgent musical written by Bob McAllister and Mark Nichols.

Roulette is an intense performance-piece for four timpanists that I wrote in fall 2006.

Electronic

For the spring 2011 concert season I was a member of the Stanford Laptop Orchestra.

You Look as Though You May be Wearing a Tuxedo is a downtempo electronica song.

Fiberglass is a foggy electronic soundscape.
