This piece is part of a suite for solo violin depicting the seven deadly sins of Catholic tradition. Rather than present every "sin" as negative, I chose instead to consider them as different emotional aspects of the human condition. This is a live recording from a concert given in June 2016, where the piece was performed by violinist Mary Evans. Thanks for listening!

Spaces is a quartet for Violin, Clarinet/Bass Clarinet, and two bowed Vibraphones that I wrote in 2015. This is a live recording from a concert at the University of Oregon School of Music in June 2016. Many thanks to the amazing performers who brought this piece to life for me!

Spaces

definition: to have a deep longing for something, often for that which has been lost.
