Imagined a shark moving through different parts of the ocean, oblivious to human influence
Written after a long break in which I had kids
Stuff from the backlog
30-part podcast experimenting with my own approach to DJing, pretty much. Some of my best.
Chamber music for strings
String Duo (2014) – big violin and cello duet; mostly traditional tonality; very hard
String Quartet (2017) – short string quartet; a bit like a Bach cantata; medium difficulty
Cello Story (2012) – a 3-movement cello sonata collaged into a single long piece; extended traditional tonality; medium difficulty
Pieces that focus on traditional or 16th-century counterpoint
Truisms (2015) – multi-movement choral work in 16th century style with original texts, arranged for voices, strings, or brass
Mass for Four Voices (2011) – a full mass in 16th-century style, real pretty
Mass for Three Voices (2010) – another mass, student work
Canon Sonata (2012) – three movements in full canon (the two players are in strict canon the entire time)
Pieces from my time focusing on translating real life models into musical languages
Crystals (2010) – brass quintet modeling crystal lattices; unique, subtle sound world; Webern-esque?
The Faces of My Sister, Mother, and Grandmother – three movements for full orchestra, each "painting" a portrait of a family member; the same structure three times, each at a different time scale
