Into intermission
This piece was written for a Production of Cyrano De Bergerac at the Texas Shakespeare Festival. Was used to end the first half of the show, and bring the audience into intermission. Was meant to evoke a sense longing and sadness because Cyrano and Christian were both being sent to the frontlines.
Warsong
Also written for Cyrano De Bergerac, it was written as a bit of transition music ending Intermission and beginning the second half of the play (for us it was Act IV “the Gascon Cadets”).

The Music Box
I wrote this song for UTEP’s Production of Humbug/Sugarplum. My inspiration was to evoke a broken instrument (Scrooge) that used to, and still can, play a beautiful song (being able to love again). To accomplish this I created multiple versions of it played at different speeds and keys depending on what emotions I wanted to evoke.
The Waterphone
Also Created for Humbug/Sugarplum, I created this using a waterphone, some sound effects, and scored it to the projection design of the Ghost of Christmas Future torturing Scrooge. The idea was “turn into spin” of the ghost story aspect of A Christmas Carol, and what better way to do that than with this classic horror movie instrument.
