Hello, and welcome to Stephan’s Dreamland. By some twist of fate, you have found yourself in this realm, a land of Knights and Dragons; of Starships and Phantoms. In this land, both time and place have bled over the edges of the canvas. The battle’s fought by heroes and villains are now torn from the portrait of mere fantasy and collide with reality. Little is as it seems, and much is at stake. Proceed at your own peril. 

Stephan's Dreamland

And when the darkness clouds my way
I’ll cast my inner light into the fray. 

Written in 2016.

Anthem Of The Knights Of The Temple, 2079 A.D.

This piece was originally conceived about 4 years ago (as I was just beginning my studies in composition). I was toying with the notion of writing a brief but adventurous opera or a piece of program music. I never finished more than this piece, but I greatly enjoyed working on this one.

Then, two years later (two years ago), a friend approached me with the request to write some music for him and his group in the Gaming and Design Department. My time was largely devoted to finishing up the semester, but it occurred to me that this would make an excellent work for their needs. So I revisited it, edited it, and gave it to them.
They didn't like it.

Flight of the Sky Chariots

Written about 3 years ago, intended to be performed at my Senior Capstone Concert during undergraduate studies. It was never performed, as there ended up not being enough players. Along with Agnus Dei, it was intended to be the closer of my Concert.
The voice is mine.
