Dorothy meets the 3 munchkins and receives their advise on finding The Wizard of Oz.
From the Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum: “At the East, not far from here,” said one, “there is a great desert, and none could live to cross it.” “It is the same at the South,” said another, “for I have been there and seen it. The South is the country of the Quadlings.” “I am told,” said the third man, “that it is the same at the West. And that country, where the Winkies live, is ruled by the Wicked Witch of the West, who would make you her slave if you passed her way.” . . . The three Munchkins bowed low to her and wished her a pleasant journey, after which they walked away through the trees.

I'm excited to share my first song with live recorded violins and cello, thanks to the extremely talented duo at String Fever Studio.  

"The Music Box & Other Stories" is a poignant nod to my childhood and my mother's music box, which played "Waves of the Danube," and which I found completely mesmerizing.  That was my first realization that every song had a story to tell, and instilled a longing in me to tell my own musical tales.

Miniatura No. 1

With great help from Soundbetter and the fantastic cello player Joe Zeitlin I got this Piece for four cellos recorded. It's a minimalistic and emotional composition.

L'ombre de la Lune is french for Moon shadow.

L'ombre de la Lune

Music is a great unifier.  Through music, we bridge the gap between race, gender, age, etc., to raise our unified voice, the voice of the human race.  I am thankful for making friends from around the world through music, and I thank these friends for embracing me as I am.  We can't allow people to suffer oppression based on differences.  Instead, we should leverage our differences to make the world stronger and better, and build each other up instead of tearing each other down.  We are one people.  Love, not hate, is the answer.

Thanks for stopping by my page!  I compose music for all types of media in multiple genres, but favor cinematic orchestral or orchestral-synth hybrids with a strong melody.  I'm currently furthering my skills at Berklee College of Music Online, scored the end credits for the Indie film short "Sides," have music available in various film libraries, and have won awards in several film scoring contests, most notably the "Emerging Composer Diversity Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition" in the Marvin Hamlisch Film Scoring Competition 2018.  You can contact me via Soundcloud or my website listed below if you have need of some custom original or sync music from my library.  Happy listening!
