Composer. Brass, piano, dark ambient, cinematic narrative.
I write music for the part of the night you don't talk about.
Brass, piano, and electronic texture. It starts in shadow and it doesn't stay there. If you need sound that helps you confront something, sit in it, and come back out, you're in the right place.
Played live, conducted by the composer
An E-flat horn duet with British brass band, at the Clark County Library Theatre in Las Vegas. Christin Schlicker and Tony Hussey, horns. I wrote it and I conducted it. Four minutes.
Twelve movements. One sleeper. One night that won't end.
The compositions haven't changed. The audio has. I reshaped it with record-player warmth and tape texture, so it sounds like something you found rather than something that was sold to you.
All twelve movements. Stream them or download the whole thing.
Some music decorates a room. This isn't that.
I write for the hour when the house is quiet and your head isn't.
Brass that arrives like weather. Piano that won't resolve when you want it to. Dark ambient texture underneath, holding the room still. Every piece is built on a shape: descent, pursuit, confrontation, and the door on the other side.
I don't write music that tells you everything is fine. I write music that goes down with you and comes back up.
If you've ever put on a record because you needed to feel something all the way through instead of around, you already know what this is.
The written music, for anyone who wants to play it themselves.
These are the original editions. The same versions used in performances and on the recordings, not simplified arrangements made after the fact.
Solo instrumental works for flute, violin, bassoon, and oboe. Piano collections. Chamber and ensemble pieces, including string orchestra and the early dramatic writing from Beast of Gevaudan.
Each score is from a different stage of my writing. The early work is louder and less careful. The later work knows when to stop. Both are here on purpose.
For performances, recordings, or broadcast use, write to me and I'll sort out licensing.
