A piece based off of a very small, leaping motif. Electronic elements meet with marimba, piano, and glockenspiel.

Written as underscore for the Berklee Film Scoring Contest of the clip "Blind Fate".
The Breaking Point (M-Tech Remix) The Breaking Point (M-Tech Remix)
An electronic piece with some funk elements as well. Enjoy! This is a constantly tweaked and changing piece, so this is the current version 2.1. :)

See a flicker of eyes. Catch that smile. Follow through the maze. Rapture.
The Taco Swing The Taco Swing
The Taco Swing, a Stan Kenton styled big band chart I wrote in 2002 (10 brass, 5 reeds, guitar, piano, bass, drumset). The recording is by the Dallas Area Youth Jazz Orchestra, directed by Jeff Smiley. Enjoy!
Last Request: Escape Last Request: Escape
This is the short piece to go with the Turner Classic Movies film scoring contest. It doesn't make much sense without the video, but the sound is alright. Enjoy.
First First
This is the beginnings of a current work in progress. I just like the mood of this piece, so I uploaded the intro here.

A drumbeat made up entirely of sounds a trumpet can make that aren't "trumpet playing". Valves, popping the mouthpiece, tapping bell, etc.

Counterpoint project based on writing an invertible canon (either part leads and still works) displaced by 2 measures at an octave transposition.
Super Mario Smacks Shaft Around Super Mario Smacks Shaft Around
This tune is the first use of my EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument). My roommate plays the guitar part and also gave it the title because he said it sounded like video game music.
Soundscape for Tapebow Cello Soundscape for Tapebow Cello
This is an atmospheric little thing that I made using an instrument I built (inspired by Laurie Anderson) called the tape bow cello. Read the "story behind the song" on this page for details. Enjoy (it's weird, I know)
November November
November...When you wake up to what's happening in your relationship, and you just have to let go.
Chromatic Polka Chromatic Polka
A brass quartet attempt using the VL70 TURBO with my EVI. I think the tuba, trombone, and french horn sound really good...the trumpet..is alright. Enjoy!
Beethoven's Sonatina - Somewhat Beethoven's Sonatina - Somewhat
All parts (except drums) recorded with my EVI playing a Yamaha VL70 Physical Modeling Synth with the Patchman Turbo chip, I LOVE this instrument!
Covenant Counterpoint Covenant Counterpoint
Perhaps a familiar theme for college students and Xboxers alike.
