New Grand Duo for 2 Violins, and Passages Rituels for String Quartet and Digital Media
I've finished one of my most intense pieces for 2 instruments that I've ever written, with my new Grand Duo for Two Violins. It's 6 minutes of buzzing, spectral intensity with dramatic and strange quiet moments throughout.

The piece I wrote for a call for scores back in December for string quartet and electronics is now available for listening and download. It's called Passages Rituels for String Quartet and Digital Media and is 8 minutes of melancholy strangeness, full of electronic glissandi and quartertones, erupting in ecstatic climaxes. The electronic part is available for download below and does not require a click track.

I'm currently finishing the editing for my 7 nocturnes for piano that I wrote in 2009-2010. Also, I've been told that two more of my pieces will be going into the studio for commercial recording, my Quarter Dollar Tones for Solo Cello will be recorded by JW Turner and my Nocturne for Cello and Piano will be recorded by the Cross Island Ensemble.
Also, I've switched over to the Yahoo Media Player as you'll notice with the cleaner look here. When you press Play on one of my MP3's you'll notice, at the bottom of the page, a player with a complete playlist. This playlist includes every MP3 on this page which is now over 300 MP3's!
