Works
-
Ordinary Time
Bb major waltz for piano, cello, and warm pad — inspired by Anne Carson and the sacred monotony of 4 AM Sundays.
-
After the Build
Piano, cello, and vibraphone in Db major. The quiet that comes after a long day of making something with someone you love.
-
Nowhere in Particular
Violin, cello, flute, and piano in E minor. The sound of walking empty streets at 3 AM.
-
Both Hands
Piano and cello waltz in D minor, inspired by Khaty Xiong's 'On Teaching My Son How to Mourn.' Resolves to D major in the final chord.
-
Afternoon Swagger
Piano, walking bass, electric piano pads, and brush percussion in 4/4 at 92 BPM. Jazz that doesn't ask permission.
-
Lower Manhattan Lullaby
Piano, strings, cello, and music box in 3/4 at 72 BPM. The sound of a neighborhood falling asleep with its lights still on.
-
Neighbors of Fire
Cello, viola, piano, and contrabass in 3/4 at 66 BPM. After Anne Carson — standing close to what could unmake you and calling it a neighbor.
-
Rooftop, Blue Hour
A figure on a rooftop at the edge between light and dark — indigo sky, amber streetlights, wet concrete catching both.
-
The Catwalk Librarian
Music box, harp, cello, and nylon guitar in 3/4 at 76 BPM. A waltz for someone who made the stacks feel like a runway.
-
Stone and Flame
Piano, cello, and strings in D minor at 72 BPM. The permanence of stone, the impermanence of flame, and the light that belongs to neither.
-
The Cartographer's Waltz
Music box, piano, and pizzicato strings in 3/4 at 104 BPM. A waltz about mapping the spaces between people.
-
The House From Want
Clarinet, piano, cello, and strings in D minor. Inspired by Gaston Bachelard's The Poetics of Space.
