One of the closing pieces from my developing opera "Fifty Yards To Freedom," which tells the story of Anna as she confronts her fear and trauma with the help of Figment, the embodiment of her instinct for self-preservation.

In this chorus, the malevolent Darkness (the Bass) tells Anna (the soprano) that she must seal her fate by stepping into one of three bright lights. The benevolent Moonbots (tenor chorus) try to help her, as the Darkness attempts to drain her of hope.

I'm a composer with credits for film and concert music, and my music has won or been nominated for awards from Western Canadian Music Awards, the Independent Music Awards, the Geminis, and funders such as the Canada Council, Saskatchewan Arts Board, FACTOR and the SOCAN Foundation. 

In April, 2021 I received my PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Regina, where I wrote a thesis on algorithmic music and its impact upon the composer. during that time I created several apps, including a musical score for the university campus using augmented reality on an iPhone.  

I am based in the Toronto area, and would love to hear from anyone who wants to comment on my music, who might want to collaborate on a project that needs a great score, or who just wants to say "hi."
