Sleepless Night No. 1 - For Piano

Ensemble inspired by Bruch's 8 Pieces for Trio. This piece is simply a reflection on my place within a world divided by glass. I see their side, but they may never see mine.

This Side Of The Glass - Trio For Clarinet, Viola, And Piano

the flesh covers the bone
and they put a mind
in there and
sometimes a soul,
and the women break
vases against the walls
and the men drink too
much
and nobody finds the
one
but keep
looking
crawling in and out
of beds.
flesh covers
the bone and the
flesh searches
for more than
flesh.

there's no chance
at all:
we are all trapped
by a singular
fate.

nobody ever finds
the one.

the city dumps fill
the junkyards fill
the madhouses fill
the hospitals fill
the graveyards fill

nothing else
fills.

First piece without piano, hence the title. Written for Comp II class under Dr. David Crumb. Based on cluster chords. MIDI recording.

Departure -String Quartet -(2016)-  MIDI Recording

This is a complete free form improvisation. I do not know enough theory or styles to produce coherent flows. But, I can move around the keyboard quite a lot. I can only improvise to feeling. This would explain how disjointed it may sound.

An Improv - for piano

Written immediately after the initial DAPL issue in Standing Rock, this was a way to search my feelings about my Native background and perspectives both as a whole and as an individual. These are characterized by sounds that inspired me upon listening to many different types of native traditional music.

Alone With Everybody for Voice And Piano

This piece was written during my studies with Professor David Crumb at the University of Oregon School of Music in 2016. My musical material prior to this was largely influenced by romantic era styles and tropes. Therefore, this represented my "departure" from that world into proceeding periods. Although listeners have noticed small influences of Bartok and Shostakovich in this piece, I was actually listening to Ravel and minimalist composers at the time.
