as well as slowly-developing nuances of timbre and tuning.
I am currently a PhD candidate at Duke University where I study with John Supko. I also have degrees from Brooklyn College (CUNY) and Northwestern University, and my former teachers include David Grubbs, Amnon Wolman, and Jay Alan Yim.
In February/March 2012, I will attend the Other Minds Festival in San Francisco as a recipient of an Other Minds Composer Fellowship.
My compositions were released on two recordings in 2011: Phantasm (Music for Saxophone and Computer) by Eric Honour and Music for Violin by Erik Carlson.
Recent performances include: tear gas, played by the Duke New Music Ensemble in November/December 2011; sea spindle, which was performed by Oren Vinogradov at UNC-Chapel Hill in September 2011; The Alchemical Room, a collaboration with video artists Madeleine Gallagher and Adam Savje, which was performed at Roulette, NYC in May 2010; and estuary (for quintet and electronics), which was performed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC by members of The Perlman Music Program in February 2010. Other recent performers of my music include euphoniumist Mark Carlson and the New York Miniaturist Ensemble.
I have been The Perlman Music Program‘s Composer-in-Residence since the summer of 2009, and in 2010 took over as Director of Contemporary Music during the program’s Summer Music School.
My works are licensed by BMI.
I live in Durham, NC with my wife Rosemary.
