ABOUT

I try to create music that speaks with sincerity and immediacy. My works are informed by the complexity of human emotion and the world we live in. At the same time, they are not “about” anything in particular—I can only hope that the music communicates with clarity, allowing the performer or listener to decide for themselves what it means. 

I consider myself a traditionalist in search of a balance between opposites: complexity and simplicity, consonance and dissonance, tonality and atonality, tension and release, darkness and light, despair and hope. I seek to communicate in a unique voice within an existing language.
