Current research
I am currently working on a series of pieces called "Explorations in Polytonality and Other Musical Wonders". Each of the volumes that I have made so far features a suite of short pieces. Each piece investigates a technical approach within music composition (e.g., polytonality, metric modulations); historical textures (e.g., organum, heterophony); and historical forms (e.g. rondo, round). The project investigates new potentialities for these techniques, textures, and forms, with particular focus on approaches out of circulation within contemporary music making.
