I compose music with harmony and structure as the primary expressive forces.
Recent work includes band settings, film and collaborative projects, and independent works for piano and small ensembles. It is conceived compositionally — shaped by long-range harmonic movement and formal consequence rather than surface style.
I am interested in music that earns its emotion.
Sonority matters only when it arises from internal logic. Harmony and form are not surface features; they are how the music moves, remembers, and resolves.
Many of my pieces take shape through rehearsal and performance as much as on the page. Harmonic ideas are tested under real musical conditions — refined through listening and time.
I do not separate songs, instrumental works, and produced recordings as different kinds of thinking. They are different vessels for composition. A band can sustain a harmonic argument as rigorously as a chamber ensemble; a recorded work can articulate form as clearly as a score. In this sense, the trio, quartet, or quintet rock band functions as a contemporary chamber ensemble — bridging folk and art-music traditions. It is not a departure from chamber music, but one of its present forms.
Style and genre are not rejected, but allowed to emerge naturally as outcomes rather than starting points.
Across formats, the aim remains the same: to create music whose feeling is inseparable from its construction.
