Biography

I am a composer in Northern California. I have been writing primarily orchestral and chamber music.

I use both Notion or Logic Pro; in either case, I use them to create full scores and to render the music.

In addition to classical forms, I also particularly like cuban, brazilian, celtic and folk music. Favorite songwriters: The Eagles, John Denver. Favorite composers: Bach, Vivaldi, L. Bernstein, E. Bernstein, Satie, Gershwin, Prokofiev, Rodrigo.
