At risk of sounding like an old hippie, I thought of my music as a vessel to convey the love that Rabindranath Tagore felt for his deity. And now it's up to the singers to pass along that love to the audience. So peace out, folks. ✌️☮️

Sometimes you're handed a beautiful poem and the music just writes itself. When Charles Anthony Silvestri sent me the text for 'Yeshua', the melody started writing itself the moment my fingers touched the keyboard.

“Song Offerings” & “Transfigurations” differ from my usual work — written for live performance with a small ensemble rather than orchestral backing or studio recording. Learn more on my creative blog (link in bio).

I really had a great time composing 'Song Offerings' for Kantorei... the collaboration was so loose and relaxed, I rediscovered a real youthful enthusiasm for making music that I hadn't felt in a while. Read all about the process on my creative blog (link in bio).

I've been doing more purely musical projects & taking on fewer film & game scores. Looking ahead there'll be a range of releases coming that are an expression of the newfound joy I've found in being a composer & artist. 'Song Offerings' is the 1st chapter.

"That I want thee, only thee--let my heart repeat without end."
Gitanjali is one of the most beautiful works I've ever read about devotional love for the divine. I imagined my job as the composer to channel that pure love in the most direct means possible.
