Timpani Forces is now officially a part of the tapspace catalog!  You can peruse it and order it here, through their website.  Again, my many thanks to David Constantine and Chris Whyte for their wonderful performances of the piece, and thanks to Jim Casella and tapspace for the honor of publishing it.

The first complete draft of Moon of Eris is now in the hands of the Portland Percussion Group so they can offer any criticisms or feedback.  I’m very happy with how the piece has turned out – albeit slower than i initially anticipated – and I’m excited to see where to take the piece from here.  Thanks again to the PPG for their patience and their continued enthusiasm!

No rest for the weary!  With the completion of the first draft of Moon of Eris, it’s time to put serious energy into the commission for my spring 2014 concert for the Liminal Space Contemporary Ensemble.  I’m looking forward to this new collaboration and taking on the challenge of writing for a marimba/guitar duo.  Look for more details as this 2014 spring concert looms closer!

The Tulane University Marching Band’s football season is halfway over, and it’s been an exciting one for both our members and for athletics!  The Green Wave enters our bye week with a 5-2 record, the most wins we’ve had since 2004.  Come support Tulane with us in our last year performing in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.  Go to tulaneband.org to follow our exploits!  Roll Wave!

I am always looking for new opportunities to write music for solo musicians and ensembles, marching bands, and drumlines. Visit the commission page for more information on how we can collaborate together to create great music!
