It's wonderful to see how it challenges the limits of phonology you can give.

This is terrific. Very strong, a great tribute.

Robin Williams was my favorite comedian. 

Like the rest of the world, I admired Robin and the work he created. After hearing of his passing my thoughts turned to a sonata I wrote for him in 1999 after being so moved by his cumulative legacy. I wanted terribly to get this song to him at the time but had no idea how to as I'd have been just one of his millions of fans. 

In any case, today I share that song I wrote for Robin with the world. It's a classical piece - one that may not be easily digested. I hope I was able to tap into his brilliance... and perhaps some of the pain.

The song is available for download on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/sonata-17-for-robin-williams/id1019404531 and Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013RKL3UA/ref=dm_ws_ap_tlw_alb113

Sonata 17 For Robin Williams

I wrote this in 2008 when my piano was being tuned and left the felts deadening its strings as I composed - leading to this... the quietest piece I've ever written.
