New Music!!! Today I released "greenland" an album of music from the show "greenland". It's on all major (and not so major) streaming platforms. Add it to your playlists. Please! Check it out, play it in the car, let it run in the background, make some TikTok, Instagram, or youtube shorts with it, and Shazam it while you do.

This past Fall I co-choreographed (with Satu Hummasti, Pamela Handman, Natalie Desch, and Eric Handman) "greenland" an evening length dance with 37 performers. It premiered in Salt Lake City at at the end of January. I also, wrote/recorded/produced the music and now I’m excited to announce the release of the music. It’s 11 tracks of music for dance with a wide dynamic range from ambient to pulsing rhythms, short songs, I even snuck some heavily distorted guitars in there .

New Music!!! Listen, Add it to a playlist, Share!!!

After two long years I'm thrilled to announce that I've published some new music made with Matt Starling. It's out now!

This music emerged from a 2018-2019 evening length dance theater piece I co-created with Satu Hummasti “Lost Love Socialite Sweet Love Recluse”.

Matt and I scored and performed the show — these two selections originate from that score. Recorded live and then later developed in the studio, the two tracks are markedly different in style, technique and tone.

Matt and I previously collaborated as two of nine members of the Salt Lake Electric Ensemble on their 2018 Orange Mountain Music release Philip Glass: Music With Changing Parts.

Other “Lost Love Socialite Sweet Love Recluse” Collaborators: Natalie Border, Eliza Tappan, Bashaun Williams, Juan Carlos Claudio, Dan Evans, John Allen, and Christine Hasegawa
