Composing and Arranging
My postgraduate degrees are in music composition. One of my master's degrees is from Central Washington University where I studied composition with Mark Polishook, David Asplin, and Eric Flesher. CWU is where I was first exposed to music outside of the tonal classical tradition or traditional jazz.
My second master's degree was awarded by the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Utrecht in the department of Kunst, Media, en Technologie. This degree is in composition with a focus on music and technology. While living in Amsterdam, I studied composition and took individual lessons and masterclasses with many composers including: Louis Andriessen, Michel van der Aa, Yannis Kyriakides, David Dramm, Hans Timmermans, Rens Machielse, Jorrit Tamminga, Marcel Wierckx, and Barbara Woof.
Nowadays I'm mostly composing music for live instruments and live electronics. I use the program, Supercollider for my live electronic works.
I am currently accepting requests for an arranger for various projects. When a band wants to add a string quartet to their rock album, or a singer/songwriter wants to turn their song from guitar and voice into something bigger, I write music that fits with their style and desire. Send me an email if you are looking for a composer/arranger for your project.
