I worked with the talented Molly Parden (vocals) and Brian Sanders (cellist) on this next installment in the Cities Suite. I was really inspired by my recent trip through Europe. Namely Prague.
You can probably hear the classical influence from the greats. I remember walking through the cemetery in Prague, seeing the gravestones of Dvorak and Smetana. Gravestones inscribed with music. Enjoy!
I’ve finally finished the first single in my “Cities” suite.
It’s called City of Lights, inspired by Paris and Hemingway. It tells the story of a woman searching for love through the City of Lights, when she had it all along.
You may hear notes from an old accordion mixed in, it was an old purchase from a music store. A lot of character.
Get it now on iTunes, Amazon or Spotify.
Really wanted to capture the feeling of subtle change. The feeling when you watch leaves slowly change, or wind blowing through the forest. A lot my piano pieces have been coming out with a strong pentatonic feel lately. Can’t really say why exactly, but I guess I’ll just run with it.
Feel free to download.
Recorded on a 1929 Steinway.
Had the privilege of working with Digital Kitchen again for this promo for HTC + Valve. They just announced a new Virtual Reality device called RE Vive.
They wanted ethereal/futuristic sounds to match the worlds they’re creating.
I tweaked my own Arpeggiator to get some cool rhythmic sounds from the piano and pizz. strings.
Another beautiful architecture piece by Jon Roemer set to my composition “Overflowing.” Featuring the campus of Princeton and the new Lewis Center for the Arts.
This is a piano piece I wrote called “What We Used to Be.” Thinking of the past and how it affects the future.
This is a collection of Soundtracks I’ve written for different projects as well as personal projects. They can all be downloaded for FREE.
This beautiful piece produced by Adventure.com with my song “Indian Piano” starting at 1:46.
This is the first of a series of stories that will become the documentary “Solidarity” about Konstantinos Polychronopoulos. When he lost his job, he saw two kids rumagging through the garbage to find food. He decided to make some sandwiches to feed people in need. Cool story.

My song “Ecclectic Bells” was used in this Vimeo Staff Pick video. (It starts at 00:16). Really cool piece.
Scored this touching piece for Ransom.Tv. In lieu of Robin William’s suicide, this seems fitting and important.
This video introduces the core technology of the Cryostation Microscope. What is that? No idea, but it sounds pretty cool.
They used my music “Sun Through the Clouds” on this one.
Animated by Massive Studios.
I wrote this piece up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I’ve noticed when I sit down at the piano these Native Indian sounds seem to come out. That old pentatonic sound.
American Red Cross used my song “Voyage” for this piece on giving blood. Very fitting in lieu of the recent anniversary of D-Day.

Another piece written for a show, I wanted to get across a sense of mystery and nostalgia. I wrote for cello and played ukulele on this.
The Polish graphic designer, Michal Karcz, gave me permission to use this image with the music.
Another orchestral piece with french horn and strings. The director wanted these swells of emotion hitting twice in the piece. It’s interesting pairing the flute with french horn for that triumphant feel, but with a sense of the ethereal.

An orchestral piece for a show I’m working on about Billy Graham’s life. Arranged for french horn and strings on this one.

North Face used my song “Sun Through the Clouds” for this piece on free climbing.
I worked with Digital Kitchen on this custom music for their Hyatt ad. I experimented with psycho-acoustic effects to give the feeling of being in an environment, an experience.
