Mob Mentality
Mob Mentality was composed during the 2004 presidential election campaign. I had grown weary of the level of dialog across the entire political spectrum. The result is this caustic, sarcastic composition.

Divergent Roads
Inspired by a famous Robert Frost poem, this wind ensemble composition paints a picture of a road through the woods. The recording is from a reading session by the OSU Wind Symphony.
Prelude: Eternal Father Strong to Save
This was my first large ensemble composition, written as my major undergraduate composition project. It's a series of four variations on an old hymn-song. Each variation draws it's stylistic inspiration from the text. I remember putting a lot of effort into the different stylistic ideas, especially moving from a heavily dissonant variation into a Bach-like chorale-fugue. It was very self important and very clumsy. The fascinating thing is how different the ideas and aesthetics of this music are from what I do now.
