2015 CD Release:: ELEMENTS RISING, Navona Records NV5990, Produced by PARMA Recordings, features Moravian Philharmonic violinists: Vit Muzik, Jakab Látal, violins; Dominika Muzikova, viola; Marian Pavlik, cello.
The “modes” in Rhythm Modes include clocklike ostinato, canonic imitation and repetitions out of phase with either the meter or another instrument’s version of the same line. These rhythmic “modes” play upon the surface of the music in a lively intertwining of motives and melodies.

Only to Ask
(Audio is a concert performance by the Third Wheel ensemble)
On Curious Reflection
Audio features concert performance by Nathan Shew, marimba, and Topher Ruggerio, piano, at the 2014 SCI National Conference.
A curious reflection on the emotional immediacy of a moment, and the more distanced self-observation in the moment.
Night Stream
Recorded 6/2013: PARMA Recordings, Moravian Philharmonic violinists: Antonín Hradil, and Jakab Látal
Reflecting on the flow of life and time, imagined impressionistically as lights streaming across a rain-streaked window on a late night taxi ride through city streets.

Moonlit Mists
Jilted Tango
Lovely concert video of violinist, Moonkyung Lee‘s performance of Jilted Tango at the Seoul Art Center. She’s such an exquisitely skilled violinist. She’s also recording this piece for her next PARMA Recordings release. Can’t wait!
The push and pull in a dance of love.
In Conversation
Duets for a Duo

I. Reconsidering
In a contemplative mood… a lingering premonition that something may not be what it seems and must be reconsidered on a deeper level.
II. Amidst Confusion
The interplay of oboe and flute represents an emotional struggle that cannot be easily resolved amidst prevailing confusion.
Confidentially
A brief intimacy of a shared moment in confidence.
A Turn in Return
Workshop recording 2014: Myra Hinrichs, violin; Nathan Wollman, piano, Access Contemporary Music workshop, Chicago, IL
Originally composed as a submission to Hilary Hahn’s Encore Project, it is a quietly tender piece that has stayed close to my heart.
