Extant music samples
I’m an artist who only recently returned to composing after a long sabbatical, interrupted by few and very short exceptions. So, I ask for your patience – content embedding from previous performances is ongoing. As recordings of performances of new work manifest, I will post them here. Thank you for understanding!
