INFORMAL BIO:
I am a composer, not a band, but I wanted to put some of my music out there.
I received my Doctorate in Music Composition from the University of Pennsylvania in 2005. I recently moved to Los Angeles, where I am Assistant Professor of Music at L.A. City College.
I am looking for commissions, performers for my music, and of course anyone just interested in listening to new music.
