The Inverted Space Ensemble performs "Even Now There Are Places A Thought Might Grow." This piece was written about my Grandparents immigration from Ireland to Canada. I also wrote this piece to explore the fluidity of memory. I feature many Irish melodies I remember from growing up. However, rather than trying to find the pieces, I wrote them as I remember hearing them. I then allow them to be played forwards, backwards and simultaneously.

Even Now There Are Places A Thought Might Grow | Violin, Guitar, Clarinet, Piano, Percussion

Im Wald performed by the the Evergreen Trio. This is an older piece of mine. It was written in 2015 during my freshman year in college. It was my first attempt at chamber music. It was a reflection on a walk I took with my friend Nina while I visited her hometown, Bonn in Germany.

Im Wald | Flute, Viola, Harp

Contemporary classical chamber music. Written a year after the accompanying piece, Im Wald. This is an exploration of the timbral relations between the harp, viola, and flute. It is written as a memory of my piece, Im Wald, as well as for my friend, Nina.

Wir War Neben Dem Wasser | Harp, Viola, Flute

All My Past Lives | Piano Solo

Nymphē is about the creation myth of the panpipes. The nymph Syrinx was pursued by Pan. She prayed that Zeus save her from him. The piece starts with her last call, as she is transformed into reeds by Zeus. Pan destroys the reeds thus creating panpipes (Syrinx). Throughout the piece Pan learns how to play the panpipes and Syrinx's call.
