    Becoming

    A tree, viewed from one side: beautiful, lush; from the other side, hollowed out and rotting. The concept of turning around to discover hidden truths. Shedding our unnecessary leaves to become something potentially greater, or nothing at all.

    Into the Earth, Into the Sky

    A piece in multiple parts written to accompany a dance choreographed by Karen Brown with the same title. Using primarily guitars, rhodes piano and drums, the music provided a more modern counterpoint to a dance personifying trees of the varying seasons.

    Observations of Nature

    A piece in three sections written in accompaniment to Karen Brown’s dance of the same title. Waves crash along the shore at night, only the moonlight washing over the creatures that begin to dance among the coming and going tide.

    Descent

    A long multi-movement chamber quartet written for the Seattle Chamber Players. Depicting a formless being’s descent from beyond our atmosphere to the core of the Earth, all movements cross-fade naturally between each other to attempt a seamless journey.
