A lo-fi palette of piano, drums, and strings. Comfortable and familiar, yet hinting at a deeper world beyond. Loopable.

Originally composed as menu music for a game by Josh Reid.

Carbon Copy

A fast-paced aerial adventure that dips into dangerous territory...

Wind Under Wing

A piece based on kubb, the Swedish lawn game that's sweeping the nation (or at least the midwest)! I wrote this piece during the summer of 2016 for the Northwestern University Contemporary Music Ensemble, conducted by the fearless Taichi Fukumura.

Inkastare

A Wind Ensemble arrangement of one of my themes for upcoming video game "The Seventh Throne." Recording is from a 5/22/2017 sight-reading by the talented members of the Northwestern University Symphonic Wind Ensemble!

Undecidable

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep — while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp 
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
-Edgar Allan Poe

Recorded by The Crossing
