After Ending
For Flute, Clarinet, Violin, Cello, Piano, Percussion
movement I

This piece is in two contrasting movements. The first is lyric and dream-like
and the second is rhythmic and obsessive. This performance, and the others on
this page, are from a concert of my chamber music by the wonderful Ars Futura
All the pieces in the performance videos are available on a recording done by Ars Futura: Shuai Wang- piano, Madeline Lucas-Tolliver- Flute, Daniel Pereira or Robert Nicholson-Cello, Luke Rinderknecht - Percussion, Benjamin Chen or Gunnar Hirthe -clarinet, Run-ting Lee or Victor Beyens-Violin. With Special guests: John Perrine -Saxophone, and William Bender-Viola.

​Movement II.
Sono Solo
For Flute, Clarinet,Violin, Cello, Piano, Percussion.
This is a single movement piece. In it I aimed for a very simple and serene sound. 
The piece begins with the piano generating the music and the instruments responding.
Gradually as the piece progresses the instruments become more independent, a the 
​piano recedes. 
Veil
For Flute,Violin,Viola,Cello
This piece is an elegy, with each instrument taking up a different emotional response to
​loss.
Thread
For Flute, Cello, Piano
This piece is based on the idea of sustaing a single note (A natural) in many different
ways for as long as possible, and then excluding it for a time, only to return to again at
​the end.
Now's the Time
For Alto Saxophone and Piano
​Movement I.
This is a two movement piece written for Saxophonist John Perrine accompanied
