Dear Visitor!
Thank you for checking out my work! At first glance, it may look like a wide variety of projects are presented. But for me, they all explore the world between spoken word and music.
A story is a melody. A melody is a story.
Also, when I compose for an orchestra, I sometimes like to think the ensemble as a grand sampler; and when I compose with electronically triggered noises collected in my sampler, I often think orchestrally.
Hope you enjoy your stay!
