The first batch of the CD edition of Electrical Gremlin has now arrived, and can now be ordered on my Bandcamp page, for $10 plus shipping. Many, many thanks to Atomic Disc, just down the road in Salem, Oregon, for doing such a fantastic job on these. The CD edition features a snazzy LP-style protective …

My new album, Electrical Gremlin, has officially been released today. You can purchase the digital edition over on Bandcamp for just $7. And since today, April 7th, happens to be Bandcamp Friday, Bandcamp will be waiving their revenue share from purchases, making this an excellent day to buy Electrical Gremlin, and lots of other interesting …

This coming Friday—April 7th—I will be releasing a new album of music, entitled Electrical Gremlin. The new album is up on my Bandcamp page, where you can also preview (and buy with pre-order) the third track on the album, “Poltergeist Activity”. (And yes, I did the cover art myself.)

Those of you who know me and/or have closely followed my work know that one of my big projects I’ve wanted to do is to write a book on my modally-based harmonic system, which I’ve been developing since diving head first into the modal realm way back in 2002–back when I was a mere teenager …

At long last, I have finally opened up a store page on the site, from which my sheet music can be purchased directly. At this moment, there’s only a couple items for sale–my Piano Works Vol. 1 collection, and the solo version of the Modal Tangos, Op. 57a–but the repertoire of items for sale will …

After a period of relative quiet here, due to the pandemic, things are starting to pick up again in terms of performances (still virtual), recordings, and other activity here. First things first, my most recently-completed piece, Cyan Egg Music, Op. 59 for flute, alto sax, and horn, will be presented by the most excellent and …

As mentioned in my last update, I’ve been starting to get farther and farther into DIY recording, and have been attempting that process with my Symphony No. 1 in C-Sharp Locrian, Op. 58 for string orchestra. Today, I have an initial taste of that to share–a score video with my current iteration of the 1st …

Thus far, 2020 is shaping up to be a pretty busy year for my musical endeavors, so I thought I’d do a quick rundown of some of my upcoming events, current projects, and other happenings: Today (February 10th, 2020), I’ll be presenting at this month’s meeting of Cascadia Composers, the local Oregon/Northwest chapter of the …

I’ve done a little further spring freshening on the site, including a rather thorough layout rework on the Music page. Far less cluttered-looking, and the recordings I have are more easily found. I’ll probably continue to tweak it in the next couple weeks, now that this quarter is coming to a close at the college. …

Things have been relatively quiet here with the site in recent months, in part because life’s been a bit hectic in other quarters. The marathon Ph.D program is done, and since then, I’ve been keeping busy with my teaching duties, trying to find something full-time, and working on getting my modal theory (or at least …
