Where story becomes sound -
and sound becomes transformation
Welcome!
I'm a composer devoted to telling stories through sound — from operas that explore identity to solo piano pieces that reflect the quiet truths of being human.
Thank you for being here.
I invite you to explore, listen, and connect.
A.L.I.C.E. is a new Wonderland opera reimagined as a universal journey of self-discovery. It asks: Who am I? How do I make sense of myself in a topsy-turvy world? And do I follow the paths offered—or dare to create my own?
Blurring the lines between opera and musical theatre and incorporating world-wide musical influences, this work challenges traditional operatic conventions and paradigms while emphasizing the universality and importance of self-discovery.
Inside is a choral work that explores the rich inner world of the autistic experience, set to an original text by the composer.
It reflects on a vibrant internal reality that often goes unseen, inviting listeners to bridge the quiet gap between what is felt and what is understood.
Inside
Is a universe
Inside
Is more than I can show you
Adaptations is a multi-movement work for solo piano, written as an exploration of sound worlds—from avant-garde to minimalism to ragtime.
It opens with a modern fugue, whose subject becomes the motif that carries through the entire work. The final movement brings all of the styles together, evoking a sonic journey through shifting textures, styles, and time periods.
