Had a stellar time with Norman Adams and Nicola Baroni premiering Nine Lines at La Biennale di Venezia!

Great review in the WholeNote Magazine from the Sept. 2018 issue:

Nine Lines for Norman Adams & Nicola Baroni (Augmented Cellos) is starting to come together. Excited for the premiere in Venice on October 4. La Biennale Di Venezia. A screen shot of the Max/MSP patch interface is below.

Had a great time at the National Flute Association Convention in Orlando, Florida this weekend — performed Lachrymose for solo piccolo, and also Ex Tempore with Eugene Cormier.

If you haven't listened to this gorgeous album by pianist Jennifer King, you should! It includes a number of Nocturnes beautifully performed by Jennifer. She's graciously included a work that I wrote for her called In the Falling Dark 2. Nocturnes: O Mistress Moon is available on all streaming and download platforms as of today:

A great review of Ex Tempore in The East:

Check out this recent album from pianist, Jennifer King. O Mistress Moon is a collection of two centuries of Nocturnes and night inspired music from composers Chopin, Britten, Satie, Debussy, Barber, Poulenc, Schumann, Scriabin, Respighi, and Juno award winning composer Derek Charke. The music promises to transport you to the moon and back on a peaceful, thought-provoking journey.
