it's like falling in love, but not. Like saying hello and goodbye all at once, not with heartache, but a hopeful longing that one day... maybe one day.

Ballad for Juliette

Inspired by visions of a dirt road, grass, trees, and wilderness on both sides, I head into a medieval town of swords, magic, and adventure. As the dream fades and I am brought back into reality, a slightly melancholic sound takes over, a happy yet sad goodbye to a dreamy place, hoping to see it once more.

Dreaming of Fantasy

As composers, we leave a trace behind with every piece we write, a part of ourselves, our hopes, dreams, and vulnerabilities; a soul laid bare, waiting, wanting, hoping that long after we are gone… someone will remember through the memories we leave in the clouds.

A Memory in the Clouds

Soulz Waltz - Unadorned Truth of One Soul Waltzing with Silence, is a solitary waltz in every sense; it captures the essence of a single dancer in an empty ballroom - graceful, unpartnered, turning to music only they can hear.

The inspiration came from watching moonlight glide across a deserted grand piano at 3:00 am. The keys seemed to move themselves, as if the instrument remembered a dance long abandoned.

Solus Waltz

For anyone one sitting in the dark, wondering if it's okay to be still - this is for you. Play it soft. Let it breathe. You don't need to be more. You, Alone, are enough.

Alone

"Catching Starlight in a Jar" is what the kid in all of us believes is possible for one breathless summer evening, watching a Firefly glow - the magic can be held, just for a second, contained, kept, owned, taken inside where it's safe. We never actually catch the starlight; we only ever almost do. And that "almost" is the purest wonder there is.
