A reading of a piece I wrote this semester for Wind Quartet.  

Polytonal Wind Quartet

I had the opportunity to write a song for a friend's short film. I had originally intended for just ragtime style solo piano but it evolved into this. Started and finished in a day. 

"Favorites" Movie Roll Credits

My uke signal going through my digi-synth to a looper pedal into pro tools. Just some layering with ukes and corny patches but it uses cool mixed mixed meter accentuation stuff like (6/8 + 6/8 + 2/8)x 4 then in the b section (5/8 + 5/8 + 2/8) x 2.  

Ukes and corny patches mixed meter looper jams

Part of one of my most recent student film scores. The film is entitled "Jey". It premiered in in december. The sound is rough cut. 

"Jey" Soundtrack Part 1

A solo flute piece written for Ithaca's 2014 student composition premier. It incorporates my adaption of 12-tone serialism utilizing 3 subsets, each symmetrically distanced from Eb. The piece alternates between the three contrasting subsets. 

"Ars Nova Sine Modo Tonale" for solo flute

My first attempt to serialize multiples of a fundamental pitch using just-intonation. The piece is performed by a solo cellist and delay system incorporating 4 speakers arranged around the audience.  Signal from the cellist makes 4 laps around the audience after its initial performance.

An Experiment in Quadraphonics and Serial-Spectralism

"As Frores Do Meu Amigo" for Voice Guitar and Ukulele

I'm a composition major at Ithaca College School of music. I love uke, I love production, I score student films, I write stuff for my recitals.
