Treasure (Aldous Harding Cover)

In Norse mythology, Ymir is the primordial giant whose body makes the universe.  From his flesh comes the earth, from his blood comes the ocean, from his hair the trees, from his brains the clouds, from his skull the heavens, and from his bones come the mountains.

ＴＵＢＩ

On the Fractured Identity of the Millennial (And New Hierophanies Therein) is an exploration of the social and economic damages inflicted on the Millennial generation as a result of the broken promises of 80s and 90s Capitalism. The work paints a portrait of a generation trapped in its adolescence, searching for its own identity, having been exploited by promises of a future that never came. This loss of identity and subsequent imprisonment in a state of adolescence is represented through the deification, degradation, and eventual destruction of the mythological identity of James Franco.

Multitracked Performance by the composer.

I have my bachelor's in jazz studies from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where I received the BMI Foundation's David N. Baker Scholarship for jazz composition. In June 2019, I was selected as one of 24 young performer-composers from around the world to participate in Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead residency program at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. In 2021 I completed my master's degree in Composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo.

I have written music for string quartets, symphony orchestras, wind ensembles, big bands, jazz combos, theatre productions, rock bands, and more. In recent years I have the recipient of a First Music Commission from the New York Youth Symphony Jazz Orchestra and a bicentennial alumni commission for Latin jazz ensemble from the Jacobs School of Music. I have arranged music for KORK (the Norwegian Radio Orchestra), chamber groups from the Arctic Philharmonic, Hærens musikkorps (a Norwegian army band), and other ensembles.
