Fifth in a set of virtuosic "novelettes" for solo celesta. As the title suggests, this "little dance scene" juxtaposes various contrasting dancelike strands in a web of passionate counterpoint. These melodic fragments increasingly abut one a...

Fourth in a set of virtuosic "novelettes" for solo celesta. Though the title translates to "the dream-image of the music box," this work is not programmatic per se, except insofar as its textures, sonorities, and harmonies invoke the faded m...

Third in a set of virtuosic "novelettes" for solo celesta. A languorous song without words, interposing more lyrical passages with freer recitative-like "stanzas", steadily building in intensity and passion to a cryptic conclusion. Though in...

Second in a set of virtuosic "novelettes" for solo celesta. The title, "Urwald-Phantasie", translates to "Primeval Forest Fantasy", hinting at the kaleidoscopic, florid textures and colors that predominate throughout. A very brief tranquil p...

Spotify Playlists. Ok, so we all know Spotify playlists are the new target to aim for, as musicians, in our ever-changing landscapes. That being said; Spotify’s recent removal of 750,000 “terms violating” tracks does raise the question: how to us...

First in a set of virtuosic "novelettes" for solo celesta. A sectional toccata, this evokes, alongside the clang of bells (hence the "carillonica" in the title), the quasi-improvisational idiom of the (17th-18th century) "stylus phantastic...

Gigs, remember those?! August 2019, thanks to my normal winter break in 19/20, was the last time I got to gig. Lindisfarne 2019 to be exact. So that’s coming up 17 months without a proper gig in sight and from what I’m hearing looking like the entire...
