MUSIC STUFF
I had several intense years of music-making and composing and then it all came to a screeching halt (that life-thing). After a couple false starts I’m getting back at it, fitfully, and the music is starting to get out there.
Below is a selective works list. Some of the recent work was composed for the Vox Novus 15 Minutes of Fame project, where concerts are formed around fifteen 1-minute compositions written specially for the performers. I’ve embedded or linked to performances that have recordings available online, however some of the links are old and no longer work.
