Works

There are few things more exhilarating than watching a new piece of music come to life, be that through a close collaboration with a friend or through a consortium commissioning process. Thanks for taking the time to see what I've been creating! 

 

All pieces link directly to their store pages; my catalog includes a mix of self-published works and published works through Just a Theory Press. If you're interested in collaborating on a future project, I'd love to hear from you via email.
