"There is geometry in the humming of the strings. There is music in the spacing of the spheres." - Pythagoras. 

The implication of this quote of music's ability to encapsulate underlying patterns in the cosmos drew me into music. I am a neoclassical composure. I am a recent graduate of Master's program at the University of Cambridge, and will be continuing onto a PHD in the coming year. I have a background philosophy and communication theory. I came into music composition because of my realization that music is a special kind of communication tool that permits one to say or signify many things that can not be said with verbal language. I am a person with physical disabilities, that have prevented me from learning to play any instruments directly. Therefore, I compose electronically using virtual instrument libraries (from east west studios) in the qbase and studio one audio workstations - I use these programs to dictate, orchestrate, mix, and master my music. 

I am chiefly inspired by historical masters of the orchestral cannon, such as Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelson, Mahler, Rachmaninov, Debussy, and Barber. I am also inspired by modern orchestral composures such as John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi, and Max Richter. 

Though music is not my profession it is much more than a hobby. It is a means by which I aim to accomplish a different form of the objective I most aspire to as a scholar. Namely, to provoke useful thought and catalyze productive dialectics in the minds of those who consume my work.
