Ever wonder what it's like to be a young composer in America today? This interview which took place on May 25th, 2003 was conducted by Dr. Jon Kulp - professor of music at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Jonathan has started conducting interviews of various contemporary composers that he talks about in his classes so his students can hear about this music from the composers themselves. I was flattered that he asked me to do an interview, and these are excerpts from that interview, which I will post various sections of on a rotating basis. In this installment, I discuss my piece "Eleven", as well as musical languages in today's musical world. |

A rhythmic roller coaster ride for violin and guitar. Poly-rhythmic, poly-tonal, contrapuntal mayhem!-----"The chords reach into the soul and the melodies will haunt. I am truly awed by this composition. This will be a welcome addition to contemporary music. It is a perfect example of our decade's composition style and feel."-----GodsOfMusic.Com |

This movement focuses on the Zen concept of duality. It features the flutist singing and playing at the same time. A great effect that emulates zen monk singing. |

For SATB chamber choir and string quartet. This performance comes from the "Essentially Choral" reading sessions held in Minneapolis on January 18th, 2003 by Vocal Essence under the direction of Philip Brunelle. It's important to note that this is a reading session. What that means is, after a short rehearsal, the piece is "performed". This is for purposes of education for the composer as well as the ensemble. So, the resultant performance is FAR from perfect, in fact they are essentially sight reading the piece. But, you should be able to get the overall feel for the piece from this performance. |

This is a piece of my past. I wrote this song when I was 18 and in a rock band. I still kind of like it - I also think it's pretty funny too. Just thought I would let you all in on what I was doing as a teenager (it certainly wasn't playing Beethoven Sonatas!). |
