About the Composer

My work moves fluidly between tonal and non-tonal contexts, guided less by style than by structural focus – formal design, pacing, and harmonic color within disciplined form. I am drawn to music that feels balanced and inevitable, whose form reveals itself gradually over time.

Improvisation is central to my musical thinking. Working extensively at the piano played a formative role in shaping my emotional sensibility in music, as well as my awareness of music as a direct form of communication with an audience. For me, notated form and improvisational immediacy exist in dialogue, rather than opposition.

Alongside original compositions for choir and chamber ensemble, I have undertaken recording projects devoted to key works of the American experimental tradition. These explorations have sharpened my interest in performer agency, open structure, and spatial organization within sound.

Whether writing for voices, instruments, or solo piano, I seek clarity — music that sustains attention through proportion and focus rather than excess.
