“Well done, Troy. A Piece for Solo Cello is very powerful (and well conceived for the instrument). “ - James Erber (Composer, UK)

"I have a persistent fascination with A Short Piece for Orchestra. It’s so dense and rewarding! Obviously not a moment wasted. The stacked harmonies during the held chords in the strings almost remind me of the IRCAM/spectral sound world. It’s so very rich, really quite textbook. Beautiful Job.” - Gleb Kanasevich (Composer / Clarinetist, USA and Belarus)

"The music in A Piece for Solo Cello is intense and melancholic. You maintain a taut lyrical tension throughout.” - Marc Yeats (Composer, UK)

“There is vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is: nor, how valuable it is: nor, how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open, no artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction: a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and Makes us more alive than the others.” - Martha Graham to Agnes DeMille.

Musician, Composer, Visual Artist - Pacific NW, Oregon. Greetings. My focus has mainly been on instrumental albums. I started with solo guitar and expanded into ensembles. Now, like most of us, I'm layering compositions in a home studio.  I do not use AI.  I love all kinds of music. I'm currently recording art rock, prog rock, ambient music and heading toward some fusion. When an artist creates work that expands me, I'm thankful. I think, "that's a way to be". Color is sound. People are sound. Everything is sound. Thank you for listening and sharing. May you have a wonderful day.
