pianoContemporary Compositions for Modern Ensembles
My catalog features original works designed specifically for concert bands, wind ensembles, chamber groups, and solo instrumentalists. Each composition is crafted with careful attention to both technical demands and musical expression, offering performers engaging challenges and audiences memorable listening experiences.
From large-scale wind band pieces to intimate solo works, the music presented here represents years of dedication to creating accessible yet sophisticated repertoire for today's musicians. Whether you're a band director seeking fresh programming options, a chamber musician looking for new material, or a soloist searching for distinctive works, you'll find compositions that balance artistic merit with practical performance considerations.
brushMusical Philosophy
Great music transcends cultural boundaries while honoring specific traditions. My compositional approach embraces this philosophy by incorporating elements of Japanese musical aesthetics—such as ma (the concept of space and silence), flexible rhythmic patterns, and pentatonic-influenced melodic structures—within the framework of Western classical composition techniques.
This synthesis creates works that feel both familiar and fresh, offering performers and audiences alike the opportunity to experience music that speaks multiple cultural languages simultaneously. The goal is not fusion for its own sake, but rather the creation of authentic musical expressions that draw from deep wells of tradition on both sides of the Pacific.
