A performance of Almaviva's aria from Il Barbiere di Siviglia by Gioachino Rossini. This was recorded in my studio class and is still very much a work in progress. 
This recording was mastered in Logic X. Most significantly, I used the Channel EQ filter to amplify the frequencies in my singers formant, increasing the volume of the soloist. Uploaded as a project for my Technology for Musicians class.

Song/Aria Sampler Soundbite

These are the opening lines of F. Scott Fitzgerald's Great Gatsby as spoken by the character Nick Carraway. While this is not a stage work, I always felt these opening lines had a theatrical quality about them– an excellent opportunity for a dramatic monologue.

Monologue From Gatsby

Student Recital performance on 12 November 2015 of a movement from Jake Heggie's "Here and Gone" for Tenor and Baritone. An incredible line set over a minimalist-influenced piano, I incline to think of the eighth note motive as the speaker's fading heartbeat. 

Because I Liked You Better

Performance from Student Recital on 12 November 2015. This classic French tune is a thinly veiled metaphor for sexual exploration– as the Hummingbird's pilgrimage to drink of the flower of love takes him to death. In the final stanza where the initial theme reappears, the narrative shifts and the speaker reveals his desire to "die" on the lips of his love.
