Several more songs in the production phase.

View Details

What I really want to do is some kind of brass moment...

I figured it out!

One chapter per day!

Wish me luck!

I did what I said I was going to do!

View Details

To begin feels strangely intimidating

View Details

The anniversary of the execution of Hans & Sophie Scholl

I received the full recording!

Thank you for listening!

Have a listen...

What pulled me into this project.

View Details

So much bigger than I anticipated.

Balancing two big professional projects

View Details

Now I'll get to work

View Details

One of my favorite passages from Doctor Zhivago

View Details

I didn't accomplish my main goal for yesterday. Trying again.

View Details

(Apparently a lot of composers do this)

View Details

(I think?)

View Details

Why am I so obsessed with the dorian mode??

View Details

This project has been knocking on my door for 10 years...it feels "meant to be" (and a little spooky) sometimes.

View Details

Does this count as a "professional" project for me?

View Details

(that sounds so cool)

How can I get my subconscious working for me?

View Details

Can I get this done in time?
