This was a little experiment I did to make a duet with yourself, with you and your echo.

The Cycle of Hopelessness

This was a fun little audio story I created poking fun at the whole "birds are fake" conspiracy. I hope you enjoy listening.

Birds Are Fake

Memories of the Ocean is a piece written for string quartet. The goal of this piece is to create a feeling of the ocean's atmosphere. This is created by its swelling dynamics; this idea is present throughout the entire string quartet in unison and melodic lines weaving in and out of one another. In the middle of this piece I created a feeling of aimlessly wondering. This is representing being lost at sea. As the music is fading away it does so one instrument at a time to create the illusion one is walking away from the coast and the sounds of the sea are fading away.

"A Call for a Hero" is a piece I wanted to write a piece that evoked a heroic mood. so I started by taking advantage of the heroic feel of triplets. throughout the piece the triplets feel represents the hero. in this piece I use the duple feel to represent the villain. this piece is in rondo form (A,B,A',C,A). the A of the piece is the melody of the hero. The B section of the piece is the introduction of the villain. the A' is the call for the hero. the C is the fight between the two forces. I represent the fight by switching suddenly between duple and triple feel. The final A is the triumphant victory of the hero.

This is a flute choir piece I wrote for 1 piccolo, 3 flutes, 2 alto flutes, and 2 bass flutes. Most flute choir pieces tend to have a over the top happy sound so I wanted to create a flute choir piece that had a dark feel to it. To create this feeling I decided to imitate a storm in having a 4 parts. First is the calm before the storm, the second is the shower, third is the storm and finally the aftermath of the storm.
