New single! I’m thrilled to share the new music video and recording of my piece “All Rivers at Once” for clarinet and tenor saxophone. This was such a fun collaboration with Bryan Conger, Shawna Pennock, and Shahab Zargari. To get the binaural experience, listen with headphones! Many thanks to Bryan and Shawna for their fantastic playing, to Shahab for a beautiful video that he shot at Clark County Wetlands Park, to Gil Kaupp for mastering the track , and to Chuck Foley for recording and mixing at the UNLV Recording Studio.

“All Rivers at Once” is the title of a poem by the 13th century poet, Rumi. The following excerpt from the poem inspired the creation of this piece:

What is the body?
Endurance.
What is love?
Gratitude.
What is hidden in our chests?
Laughter.
What else?
Compassion.

– Rumi

Had a fantastic time at the Mostly Modern Festival as their resident composer! Worked with the composition fellows, gave a presentation on my music, and had a gorgeous performance of my piece Reviravoltas Sonoras by members of the American Modern Ensemble: Michael Jorgensen (violin), Matt Ward (vibraphone), and Dave Eggar (cello). It was also a wonderful experience working with festival composition colleagues Stephen Cabell and Rob Paterson.

The Mercer University Flute Choir performed my piece North Star back in April, and I just watched this recording. What a beautiful performance and many thanks to all of the members of the flute choir.
