Experimental Themes

Echoes from the Core

A humorous and rhythmic piece for trombone, bassoon, and contrabassoon. It is non-tonal and dissonant, cast in an AABB form. The top two voices are in canon.

Dance, Ye Dreary Trolls!

DREDGE (dredʒ) v. 1. clean out the bed of (a harbor, river, or other area of water) by scooping out mud, weeds, and rubbish using a boat or special device.

v. 2. bring to attention unpleasant facts or memories that had been forgotten.

DREDGE takes two separate definitions, one physical and the other emotional. DREDGE is private, it's voyeuristic, it's ritual. 

[this piece is meant to recreate that distinct sensation]


DREDGE was written for Miriam Liske-Doorandish, Adam Buttimer & Maya Stone for the 2025 Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival at MassMoCA

Musical Elitism (Classical Music reload)

A twisted Christmas french cult movie in full orchestra. 
From glockenspiel spirals to slapstick bassoons, this instrumental flips festive cheer into satirical chaos

Oblivious to the passage of time (Kollektiv Unruhe)

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available, human or machine, as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.

My goal is to create music focused on Tabletop role playing games like Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder and more.

Conceptual artist who happens to make noise.
