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.

It was twenty years ago today... @civilization.2k.com IV was released with my song 'Baba Yetu' on the menu screen, and my life has not quite been the same ever since!

"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.

'Gitanjali' is a gorgeous book of poetry by Rabindranath Tagore. Check out this stunning verse: "The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures."

Today is #worldsleepday and to celebrate, Decca Records US has commissioned an ambient remix of my 'Nocturne', recorded by pianist Wei Luo back in 2021. It's a super dreamy reimagining by Paul Corley. Check it out, and while you're at it, give a listen to my original as well!

Choral hang! Dyna and I had a great time hanging with fellow composer Ola Gjeilo and his wife, conductor Irene Messoloras. Hatched plans for our ‘Monsters of Choral Music’ Theme Cruise. (Just kidding! Unless there’s overwhelming demand and then… well, maybe…) #choir #choralmusic

She did it! Mao Shimada with the three-peat. First woman to win three World Juniors in a row, and she did it to my piece 'Mado Kara Mieru'. Bravo!!! You're incredible! (And thanks to The Olympics for the shoutout!) www.olympics.com/en/news/isu-...
