Fated, faded
A duo for cello and English horn written for myself and my dear friend Jasper Igusa. As an instrument pairing less commonly heard, in this piece I explore the use of scordatura and its resultant overtones to complement the melancholic and mildly nasal timbre of the English horn.

When was the last time you cried?
A piece that lives in many different forms. Primarily revolving around the performer's interaction with text prompts, versions include a performance featuring a fiber art response by Charlotte Munn-Wood, a performance by my quartet, and a reading by the JACK Quartet.
What matters in the end
A duo written for myself and my dear friend Sunjay Jayaram. This piece incorporates text directions, movement, space interaction, spoken word, and improvisation.
