Introduction | I am often easily entertained, and I think it shows in my music. On that topic, when I compose, I consciously try to avoid any signature marks of my own 'voice', or rather, try to avoid one completely. I trying to disguise my style, I aim to force each listener to judge each piece individually, rather than give them the ability to write me off by saying "I don't like 'his' music." I write mostly wind and brass music. I am also a twin, which is musically irrelevant. |
