Creating & Sustaining a Career as a composer

My Music & My Life
With Lessons and Ideas I've encountered

Projects

  • Ordered Table -
    The title is a reflection of the compositional process and a larger observation about humans and the perception of order. With every large or small pile of things on a surface, such as a table, there is an order. That order could reflect the patterns of usage, or simply be the eye/thoughts of the viewer imposing an order.
