Variations

Op.6

All Compositions

I first wrote this piece maybe 5 years ago? 

It was a part of a series I was making on the color spectrum and this was called Black. 

I'm so happy I was able to turn it into what it is now, I love the melody and the concept.

Wrestling - String Duet | Variations On Three Themes Op.4, No.2 Between Fm & EM 60BPM

Out of all the pieces I've been attempting to resurrect, this one was by far the most challenging.

More so emotionally, you see this piece I remember writing 4 ish years ago? And I was so proud because it was the biggest piece I had written at the time(in quantity of instruments).

I had also used instruments I hadn't yet used in a composition.

But as the title suggests I was and still am processing forgiving, may it be myself or those who had deeply hurt me in my life.

This is likely almost as personal as that 3 part piano work I did in August.

When you're healing from trauma, at least in my experience, it's tough to forgive yourself.

I'm having to go through this process of forgiving myself for hurting myself during my childhood and really understanding that it was just to survive.

Ever since I started getting help it's been one hell of a time. Adjusting to this new world where I don't have to hide but in fact, I have to do the opposite. I can and have to have the ability to use and put up boundaries and having a peaceful living space is not just attainable but a reality and a necessity.

Sometimes it's hard for me to really get my point across with this sort of thing but hopefully, my music will help connect that gap.

Forgiveness - Variations 13 Piece Orchestra Op. 4, No. 3 Db Phrygian BPM Qt = 30

This piece is meant to be played by 4 pianists, each part is on hand and one staff.

The turning of a new leaf.


The irony with this piece in particular is that I made so many versions of this and republished them at least 60 times.

I was trying to make something that my dad liked, but all I really needed was to make something that I liked.

And though the motivation for this piece was tainted, I can say I genuinely like this piece.

Maturation | Strings & Percussion Impromptu Op.1, No.1 Grave Cm

Reimagining of a piece I wrote forever ago.




I originally wrote this piece for string quartet and it was inspired during my Beethoven phase lol. 

I originally named it "reluctant disgust", it was shortly after I broke up with my first girlfriend, I still loved her but knew I needed to break away 
(it was a pretty toxic relationship, definitely my CPTSD didn't make it a fun time for anyone).

So this was partly my way of processing it.

I do like the theme, I'm glad I could resurrect it, I even have a piano transcription, I like doing that for my pieces.

Dissonance And Dissociation  String Septet Variations Op.6 No.1 .I Adagio Cm

I wanted to arrange my Canon for strings, seems the most fitting considering I borrowed the theme.

Pachelbel Canon In D Study  Arrangement - Canon String Trio, Vln Vla Vlc Op.6, No.2 DM BPM QT=85

Piano arrangement of Dissonance And Dissociation (or Reluctant Discust original name). 

I really like the idea of outfitting my various pieces for different instruments, it's almost like a brand-new piece.

Feelings written a lifetime ago.

I wrote this piece about 5 or so years ago, I was writing a series on grieving, this was titled anger originally.

Like many of my pieces I was afraid to title them what I actually wanted to title them (until now).

This was largely, because I was shamed and bullied by family into conforming to how they thought I should feel and think.

I wanted this piece to be named Hatred, because this is how I felt living in an abusive environment for 20 years. Hate.

Hate like anger is not an evil feeling, it's the body's emotional immune system and deserves to be heard and understood.

Hatred Variations 11 Piece Orchestra Op.6 , No.1 .II Am BPM QT = 30

I wrote this piece when my sister moved out, it was the first time we'd be apart indefinitely. 

My mom had basically run all of us out of the house while my dad sat there and watched, I was the last to leave or escape if you will, but she was the first, and what I felt was such sadness of us being apart but I was also super happy that she got to leave. 

She is such an inspiration to me even though I'm her older brother, it was honestly her that proved it to me that if you kept going there actually is another side, that I wouldn't be pushing on in vain.

Anguish | Piano Sonata Op.1, No.2 I Lento F#m

This one it fun, because I never thought this was something you could do!

like I never heard of a 3 piano trio before and I was like "wuuuuuuuuuut, I can make one??"

Piano Sonata Trio Op.1, No.3 I. Allegro BbM

This piece is actually alot darker than it may appear.

It's tempting and appealing disassociation. 

At least how it feels to me.

Piano Sonata Trio Op.1, No.3 II. Adagio EM

This one is funny, I wrote it because I needed a third movement to complete my sonata, but I actually ended up loving this piece a lot.


The picture I took the same day and it was a beautiful summer day, this piece perfectly describes my feelings.

Almost like butterflies.

Piano Sonata Trio Op.1, No.3 III. Andante AM

My feelings and likes may not be what most people perceive but I like this piece. 


It was my first purely happy piano work and I love how it makes me feel.

Variations on Manic Euphoria | Piano Trio Op.1, No.5 I. Allegretto CM

This piece is about my child selves prayer to have the torment and suffering stop.

In particular a prayer for my dad to want to be around me, because then he might protect me.

A Boys Prayer (For Piano) Mono Theme Transcription Op.2 No.10 .I Lento AbM

Just the symphonic transcription of the piano sonata movement Anguish.

Anguish Piano Sonata Transcription For String Quartet Op.2, No.10 .II Lento F#m

This is an arrangement, not enough space to put it in the title lol. A very personal piece to me.

I honestly can't believe how much this blew up! Thank you all for the listens.

Maybe someday I'll talk about the motivation behind it.

Variations on a Theme from Avatar The Last Air Bender Op.2, No.10 .III 20 BPM CM E Phrygian Mode

I finally made the piano to this one lol (a year later).

Ever since I heard Beethoven's 9th transcribed for piano, I'm obsessed with orchestral works set to piano.

Variations On A Theme From ATLA (Piano Arrangement)Op.3, No.1 20BPM CME Phrygian Mode

This is entirely because I don't want to pay for SoundCloud...
