Hi! Welcome to my website 🙂
Let’s start by listening to the following solo piano piece
“F I X E D HbeaRt” performed by Niloufar Nourbakhsh
“Veiled” commissioned by Amanda Gookin: Forward Music Project
a taste of my chamber music writing
Firing Squad – Commissioned by I-Park Foundation for Akropolis Reed Quintet
From these recordings, we built a soundscape of two different worlds like audio pen pals. Naomi Moser joined the collaboration to add a visual element. The footage includes scenes of Moser’s own mother in her youth, exploring answers from a different time and generation. More –> I CARE IF YOU LISTEN
I love writing for voice!

Do you have more time?
Here is an excerpt from an orchestral piece I was working on
“Knell” (2018) excerpt
Knell is inspired by imagining the very definition of this word:
“the sound made by a bell rung slowly (as for a death, funeral, or a disaster)”
I aimed to depict a constant ringing bell that is re-contextualized with various evolving parallel lines that keep returning with a different orchestral color.
