My work is often inspired by nature's geometry, structure and textures. As if writing music could begin by staring with a magnifying glass at nature's elements: water-gas-rock formations-chemical reactions, creating from these images a series of abstract landscapes.

I seek to express emotional experiences in their most raw form, without a literal or narrative setting. Like a collage of different perceptions that eventually forms a whole picture, I attempt to create a world from "real time" experience: reconstructing an imagined emotional event that unfolds in a compressed time frame.

Frequently my pieces start abruptly as if the music has been going on for a while; there is no introduction, no development, just the most condensed version of the untransformed material. There is a dramatic quality to this approach. Whether the works themselves, or the shifts from section to section in a single piece are spare or complex, I am looking to evoke something that is, in it's own right complete. Music is color, texture and rhythm and the live instrumentalists create the alchemy. This might explain why I have chosen so far to compose strictly for live musicians.

This year, I have started to add live electronics (MaxMSP) using manipulated acoustic sources to my compositions.
