    The Cycle of the Seasons

    January 24, 2011 – 3:53 pm

    Well that was a lot of words! I have completed the lyrics to the “4 Seasons.” They may not be perfect, but nothing ever is… The seasons became more about relationships as a continuous cycle and yet even as a cycle I can see it as a straight line over the course of a romantic [...]

    Four Seasons, not Vivaldi

    December 6, 2010 – 4:24 pm

    I am working on an SSAA Choir Piece for the Nordic Voices – Chicago, this is my first commissioned piece that I have ever had… I have some mixed feelings about it.  On one hand, I really am grateful for the opportunity to share my choir pieces with an audience. On the other hand, I [...]

    2010 {Failed} Artist Statement

    April 22, 2010 – 5:46 pm

    Inevitably, projects begin to intersect.  In the midst of the work that I continue to work on, my life dictates the work that I perform and execute.  In 2007 my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. My work took a back seat.  There was a most evident threat: cancer, our lives, [...]

    Instru{Mental}

    January 16, 2010 – 11:56 am

    More time spent in the music studio.  I like having no real set plan, although, I am looking to have 5 pieces–same instrumentation–about 10 minutes each.  I want to create music that makes the mind wander.  I spend most of the time stressing and not enough relaxing so, I want to create music that takes [...]
