When I started this website in 2009, it was with the intention to capture all my endeavors in musical composition. The website started to take on a new form around 2014 when I began blogging about my travels and other experiences, but music composition remains important to me even though it’s no longer the primary focus of this website.
This page lists out musical works I have written with links to recordings when I have them. If you would like copies of score or parts, please contact me.
