Nature-inspired, classically-based chamber music, choral pieces, and synthesized ambient tracks, -- quirky rhythms, spicy harmonies, catchy melodic bits

I compose music for chamber groups, orchestra, synthesizers, and off-beat instruments like mandolin ensemble. You'll hear beautiful sounds, dissonant harmonies, quirky rhythms. I'm inspired by nature, poetry, and any old sound - pots and pans, crystal glasses, wind and water, and especially birds. Influences include Bartok and Messiaen, sometimes a little bit of jazz and improvisation.
