One Shot

This was recorded by students at the University of Maine. It is meant to blend modern rock music with classical.

Debate

This movement of the trio was inspired by the writings of psychologist Erik Erikson. He claimed that an individual would rather be somebody bad, and this entirely, than to be only partly somebody good. A complete, understandable image may be more important to many people than behaving according to a positive ideology. In this movement, the violin plays a darker and sinister, yet fairly predictable character while the flute plays more warmly, but in a more creative, unpredictable style. The solution proposed here is that with some familiarity and repetition, we can learn to understand the intricacies in the incomplete but positive identities that many people will hopefully chose.

Early Works

Identity Trio for Flute, Violin, and Piano - mvt 3

Tabula Rasa, Op. 29, was written to convey the developments of secure and insecure attachments. The piano mimics warm and nurturing or cold and neglectful parental characters, as the cello responds as a child would, engaging playfully and comfortably with the piano or creating dissonance for the parent to resolve.
