An excerpt recording of a piece of mine, "Flight and the Machine," which was premiered by the University of Texas New Music Ensemble.

Flurry of Activity

I decided to work on a submission for the Bleeding Fingers Contest, and had a lot of fun in the process. I always enjoy an excuse to play around with Cubase and Kontakt, and this was certainly an exciting little side project. The track got a lot bigger orchestrally than I had originally intended, but who cares? We're re-imagining music by Hans Zimmer after all :)
The only stem file that I used in my track was the trumpet stem.  Also, I took some of the pitch material from woodwind stem file and used it in the little piano loop, which can be heard most prominently at the beginning of my track.
Hope you enjoy :)

Frozen Expanse - Bleeding Fingers Contest

For bassoon and marimba. Second movement from a piece I wrote in grad school for my friends Aaron Wright (bassoon) and Tristan Boyd (percussion) - these two are the performers heard in this recording from my master's recital at UT Austin.

Five Responses - II. Pensive

My first foray into film scoring! This main theme is set to the opening graphics sequence of the film -- the music makes more sense, and is most interesting with the visual component, but I thought I'd  share anyway.
