The recording of my new piece for pierrot sextet, He came like the wind, like the wind touched everything, and like the wind was gone, is now up on my Works page. This was performed in July at Texas New Music Festival. Be sure to have a listen!
In addition to that work, I also have two other new works available for purchase - Taming the Beast, a work for piano 4-hands (also performed at Texas New Music Festival), and From the Barest of Unformed Kernels..., for symphonic band. Details are listed on my For Performers page.

Some news updates: my Works page now has the recordings of the two works I wrote for Longy's Divergent Studio last summer. The first of these is With Me, the piece I wrote for loadbang (both music and text) which was premiered at the festival. The second is Reaching, Calling, a short work for trumpet, viola, and cello that was written as part of a speedwriting assignment. Be sure to have a listen.
Looking forward, this summer I will also be attending Texas New Music Festival in Houston, where I'll have premiered two new works: a pierrot sextet and a work for piano 4-hands.
