Iguana Man - Ending Credits Theme

Here's a video of me performing Sylvan Odyssey, a piano concerto-esque piece in one movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5d47sO4S_Y I was trying to write my melodies and harmonies in a video game-esque style that's very accessible and enjoyable to a non-musical person, but also employ good thematic development and solid part-writing that will keep the snobs like myself happy. ;)

Wind In The Wood

I had the privilege of doing a read-through of this piece at Furman University for composition juries this fall. We only had one short rehearsal ahead of time, so forgive the messiness; but I'm very happy with how well it turned out considering. Also forgive the over-loudness of the piano; it's a very bright one, the lid was open, and we didn't have close mics on the strings. The string players were phenomenal - most of the mistakes were on my end :). Also ignore the awkward dropout of left hand piano towards the end - my pages were about to fall off and I had to catch them. In any case, I hope you enjoy the heartfelt performance! :) As Beethoven once said, "To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable."

The Adventures of Bobby and His Tricycle

Here is my prelude and fugue in A Major - the final project for my composition seminar at Furman University! The prelude is inspired by the minimalism of Steve Reich, and the fugue is by the last movement fugue of Samuel Barber's Piano Sonata.

Prelude And Fugue In A Major

Figured it would be a fun exercise to write some counterpoint imitating the style of Johann Sebastian Bach. You'll notice little cameos from many of my favorite his works! :)Brownie points if you can spot them.
