| I compose using acoustic and computer generated music in an effort to create cathartic experiences for my audience. When composing I draw from an integrated intellectual, psychological and emotional source from my inner voice, drawn from my life experiences. For me, it is the emotional aspect of this source that provides true universality, directness, and poignancy. It is important that my compositions be musically and emotionally accessible to both the performer and listener. My goal is to write music that speaks to the soul, compelling the performer and listener to become emotionally and intellectually involved, to encourage creative listening, while attaining a high degree of aesthetic content and artistic satisfaction. | |||
