Solo works

nice. (2025)

For solo clarinet

Nice, written for unaccompanied solo clarinet, was written as a gift to my friend and fellow composer, V. Miravella. The style and musical material were influenced by genres which I have been listening to a lot, being modern jazz, funk, and neo-soul. The clarinet functions as a multitude of instruments and sounds present in these genres, like the bass, horns, and keys, and the passages are meant to be virtuosic and feature the soloist’s skill and versatility in the context of these genres.

Descent (2025)

For solo percussion

Descent was written for the annual 24/24 speed-writing event hosted by UNT's Composer's Forum. This piece was premiered on 2/2/2025 by Rune Hale.

Sound Collage No. 1 (2025)

For solo percussion and electronics

Written and premiered for the Composition & Percussion Workshop - Symposium Trstěnice, in Trstěnice, Czechia

Chamber works

Portraits of a City (2024)

For violin, clarinet, piano trio

This piece is a reflection on my experiences from when I lived in New York City when I was younger. There were certain emotions that simply being in the city would evoke in any person experiencing it. The two movements are of contrasting style and each have their own musical influences as well as extramusical influences. The musical material in each movement reflects the experiences I wanted to capture.

These two musically distinct movements come together to convey the unique and invigorating feelings of the city, whether as a person living in the city or as a tourist, visiting to see the sights.

not forgotten (2026)

For wind quintet

Written for the 2026 Tidewater Composition Workshop, premiered at the Newfound Chamber Winds Music Festival in Norfolk, Virginia

CONNECTING… (2024)

For woodwind ensemble and electronics

CONNECTING… was written for a final project for a composition class during my study at the University of North Texas. I decided that, like with all of my pieces, to try something new- this time, it was to incorporate live electronics into my music. The piece was inspired by modern jazz, hyperpop, and neo-soul, genres which I have been listening to quite a lot recently.

Flight of the Blackbird (2023)

For flute, oboe, clarinet trio

Large ensemble

Shattering Star (2025)

For wind ensemble and percussion

A supernova is the phenomenon of a massive star at the end of its life collapsing in on itself, unable to support its own weight, resulting in a massively powerful and luminous explosion. Akin to a swan’s final song, a supernova is a beautifully bright celebration of a star’s millions-of-years-long life. This piece chronicles the full life cycle of a star, from its formation from swirling cosmic dust, to forming a young star, through the star’s evolutionary phases, to its eventual inability to support itself and collapse, leaving only a husk of its former self, and the rest dissipating back into cosmic dust.

With this piece, I wanted to capture the seemingly unending brightness that a star gives off during its life and the sheer massiveness of the star. As the star advances through its life cycle, it advances through multiple stages as time passes, which are represented by different sections of the piece. Late in its life, it reaches a critical point where it is no longer able to support itself, which is represented by a frantic section in mixed meter. Finally, the supernova plays out in a massive and grand movement closing the piece.

Variations on a Dream (2026)

Collaboration with Collin Huffman and Demetrius Robinson Jr.

Nougat (2024)

For jazz big band

Collaboration with Vincent Miravella

The House on Ash Tree Lane (2026)

For orchestra (3,3,3,3 4,3,3,1 T+3 Hp Pno Strings)

Mark Danielewski’s debut novel House of Leaves is a landmark psychological horror book that has truly paved the way for the horror genre in the present day. The main story, which is interwoven with the story of the person who recovered its manuscript, sees the family of Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Will Navidson moving into their new house in Virginia (on a street named Ash Tree Lane) in an attempt to live a peaceful life, only to discover that the interior of their house measures a quarter of an inch longer than it does on the exterior.

After some time, Navidson finds that a door has appeared in the living room, leading to a mysterious hallway that is completely dark and cold. Over the course of several weeks, Navidson and his hired explorers investigate the hallway, finding a maze-like structure with a winding spiral staircase that descends for miles, all while frequently hearing scratching, roaring, or growling noises from inexplicable sources. Within the hallway, Navidson and the explorers are afraid of what dangers may possibly lurk within the labyrinth inside the Navidson house.

With this piece, I intend to evoke the feelings of terror experienced not only by the characters, but also the reader. The music itself contrasts between the peaceful and slow life that the Navidson family and Navidson’s personal curiosity of the hallway, and the consequences that follow. The diatonic chords are juxtaposed by dissonances which seek to disrupt the peace of family life. Following the explorers descending the stairway and continuing to explore the house, blocks of sound spin around the ensemble, creating a feeling of disorientation. Over the course of the piece, the music slowly imparts dread into the listener, just as Danielewski’s story does to the reader.
