I compose music for piano and/or orchestra that is intended for listening, playing or as background to film. My inspiration is drawn from many sources; I particularly love the sound of modal harmonies, and also have a fascination for new ways to modulate within modes. I love music almost as much as I love my major source of inspiration -- found in nature, hiking through the woods and mountains near my home. I am also inspired by my music buddies, whose friendship, warmth, and common purpose are invaluable to me.
