(19/20) Bunn Bunn & Jacky for wind quintet. My coworker has some rather whimsical cats and I felt inspired to write some music about them. I've never actually met them in person.

(17/20) Shadows in the City for Contrabassoon and Pre-recorded audio. This piece was a part of a larger art project where we all made a piece of art based on a prompt. The prompt revolved around a homeless individual who has a food allergy but can only find the food they're allergic to.

I remember seeing an Eric Whitaker video during one of the degrees about how you don't truly start being creative until you're out of school. In the moment I thought this was bs, but wowie I hate how right he was
