I'm a composer, arranger, pianist, and occasional conductor. I write music for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, orchestras, found objects in scrapyards, you name it. Genres include concert music, opera, musical theatre, film and television, dance, and theatre. As an arranger, I have signed over two hundred arrangements for orchestras. Likes? Composers, musicians and instruments. Pet peeves? Our image-saturated world induces eye-dominance which means we hear more than we listen. Musical fantasy: The entire world performs 4'33" by John Cage at a given moment.
