 CURRENT WORK

Here's a glimpse at some of my current work in the studio and in synch. 

New EP - Out Now!

3

My third studio project, 3, is an EP which explores the story of journey.  Returning to my boyhood roots at the piano, 3 is a journey from simple, melancholic solo piano to everybody in orchestral composition.   Each of the 3 tracks on this EP is a story told in a classic three-act structure, and each using 3 as the anchor point for its meter:  3/4, 6/8, 12/8 time, triplets, etc.  

This is an exploration of the story of becoming, as a human and as a composer.  

3 released on 3/3.

Stories All Around Us

Step outside.  Look up at the stars.  Close your eyes.  Listen to the trees creek and sway.  The water rushing.  

Stories All Around Us is an ambient acoustic album composed in the outdoors.  Drawing inspiration from nature, this is about connecting with nature.  Using the natural rhythms and sounds of the earth.  Beauty in Nature, the first track, was composed on a camping trip with my son - something I treasure.  Listen for the crackle of a campfire in the music's texture.  Feel the rhythm of the crickets and bugs as they undulate around 120 bpm.  Hear the scraping and tapping of the iron skillet over the fire in the percussion.

Step outside and have a listen.

FOOTBALL IS FOR EVERYONE

So proud to have my work included in this case study for the NFL's "Football is For Everyone" advertising campaign.  This was a piece that I composed for Howling Music.  The work they put out for this series of adverts and case studies was incredible, and important. The final NFL ad placed second in Ad Age's 30 Best Ads of 2021.  Please have a watch and listen to this case study and the impactful final NFL ad.  And please consider supporting     The Trevor Project, a suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization helping LGBTQ young people.

Le Vol

A neo-classical composition reminiscent of the romantic period, Le Vol is a telling of the story of children moving away and the processing of the joys and sorrows that ensue.  Told in three movements, it begins with faster phrases of piano and moves to orchestral restatements of the theme in the second movement.  The piece finishes with both a lightness and enduring melancholy in a final movement that is told by harp, gentle woodwinds, and legato movements of strings.  Throughout, the story is threaded together by piano and variations on the theme.

A Merry Little Christmas

Relax by the fire with the ones you love, and enjoy listening to this laid-back, simple jazz interpretation of a Christmas classic.  Music penned by Hugh Martin in 1943, this classic endures.  So add this to your holiday playlist, and enjoy the holidays with the friends and family who are dear to you.
