Grounded, composed in 2022 for TTBB choir, based on a poem with the same name by Jennifer Poussin.  

Original poem by Jennifer Poussin:
Our closest kin love us they do,
still with their doubts they hurt us too,
when with the best intent they try
by telling us that we can't fly.

Their caring words as our belay
we hide in shame our wings away,
the wonders of an untamed flight
dropped for a twist that proved them right.

Shrugging the fears comes at a cost,
some loved one's love is sometimes lost,
when one veers off the approved path,
from caring doubt to sour wrath.

Unchain the chains, stick your neck out!
Go play with screws, go walkabout,
hike with a group, sail in the rain,
through grit and time you yourself gain.

Welcome to my SoundCloud! As a composer my endeavour is to create a music which speaks to the listener in a language they understand. My music has a foundation of melodic structures and traditional harmonic progressions, with incorporation of novel compositional techniques that aspire to constantly push the limits of the music. This connection between traditional melodic language and the novel and experimental invites the listener to both follow along in this musical journey as well as discover something new, unknown and intriguing. My background as a keyboardist playing metal and rock has led me to use the drive, rhythms and energy from that music to be a noticeable aspect and a clear fingerprint in my musical expression. With a passion for finding the music of tomorrow and to contribute to the musical heritage left for the future I am through my compositions searching to find what is yet to be discovered in the realm of music, that which is still left unimaginable to us.
