I’m a composer living in New York City. I mainly write notated music for acoustic instruments, especially piano.
I write my music in search of a language of the heart. It tells stories about internal and external worlds, using familiar musical elements to form undefined symbols. The listener then completes the music: the creation of meaning itself becomes a story.
My recent projects include a collaboration with Terry Riley on his open-ended work The Holy Liftoff for flutist Claire Chase, premiered by her with the JACK Quartet and featured in the 2025 Ojai Music Festival; Unity Song, a multi-hour composition accompanying an art installation by Tamiko Kawata at Alison Bradley Projects in NYC; and How to Become an Idea, a concert-length diptych of perceptual solos for violinist Christopher Otto.
I’ve also written for Mode Records and NewMusicBox, as well as performed as part of Gemini Society.
My last name rhymes with “here and there”.
