Original composition. Unedited and unmastered recording in the Spacebomb attic before it was Spacebomb records.

02 A.N.A.

Arrangement I did of "To Whom the Bell Tolls" by by Steve Baker and Carmen Daye from the soundtrack of "Donnie Darko". This was recorded in 2003 and has always been my favorite performance of it, not only because of the musicianship of those performing it, but also how I feel it reflected the conflicts I was personally enduring at the time. That spring I was finishing grad school, writing the music for my graduate recital, and also working full-time in Dyker Heights middle school in Brooklyn which by the way, was no cup of tea. First fulltime teaching assignment in the largest and underserved urban public school system in the country. Waking up at 530am, one hour car ride to work, 10 hour day, hour car ride back home, eat, take the subway to Manhattan, write music and practice for 4 hours, Subway back home, go to bed, repeat.

Donnie's Theme Original

01 Butelcutsa Me

Undoubtedly one of the coolest solos I've ever taken. I remember it vividly and it was alot of fun as well the entirety of the night. 1999 or 2000? Big Wig Family Reunion.
