A variation on a theme by Francois Couperin.  It was composed after my time at the European American Musical Alliance in Paris.  It is performed by Markus Kaitila at The Hit Factory, NYC on July 6, 2025.  Maximilien Hein was the Recording and Mixing Engineer on the project. Special thanks to Ray Lustig for help during the recording session.

Couperin Variation No. 1 - Under the Mountain Road

I'm a multi-media artist and composer.  I play the Uilleann pipes, piano and tin whistle.  I compose, paint and and make videos.  I am deeply interested and concerned about the state of our planet and the all the living things that depend on it.  I live in New Jersey, can often be found in New York City, and escape to Vermont, where "I go to lose my mind and find my soul," as John Muir so poetically put it.
