This was a 24 hour composition.  I've been experimenting with more radical harmonic progressions and trying to use harmonic structures to suggest a harmony (lots of open fifths in this piece).  I really like how it turned out, but it wasn't very long so I made it repeat with a drum track.

Harmonic Experiment

More experimentation with various harmonies and orchestrations.  I think it's time I bought a real synthesizer now.  

Harmonic Fantasy No. 3

This was just an experiment, but I think it turned out beautiful.

Harmonic Fantasy No. 2

A song based on and dedicated to the character Pauline Williams from Toni Morrison's novel _The Bluest Eye_.  Forgive the recording quality, we were on a tight schedule.  Thanks to my friend for offering his brass skills when time was running out.  Sheet music available for free, just message me.

Song For Polly

Shifting Sand

This brief sketch is more of a 1-hour composition than a 24-hour composition.  It was recorded December 2, 2015.

Missy Elliott - Lick Shots (Drastic Dusk Remix)

These are excerpts of music I've written or recorded in the past few years. I've put reference comments in the track to indicate the title of each song.

Example Music

This is (originally) a wild and crazy pop track, but I was so enchanted by the melody that I wanted to make a piano reduction out of it.  The original is not at all this melancholy, but it was fun to rearrange this song.  I hope you like it.  Sorry I don't have sheet music, I just arrange it in my head and play it.

Crazy (Candy Dulfer) - Piano Reduction

the surface and the core
expectations and surprises 
the real and the imaginary
tradition and innovation
the natural and the artificial
