Dear Everyone Who is Still Interested in my Music,

I have just uploaded a new piece of mine, "Evolution Into the Unknown". It is a solo acoustic guitar piece employing extended techniques and functions as a composition/improvisation hybrid. If you're interested please take a listen. Below is a link to my Bandcamp page where you can listen to the whole album and donate if you're so inclined (but no pressure). Thank you for checking out some of my previous efforts and I'd be thrilled to get some feedback for my latest stuff. Thank you and I hope you're doing well.

Dear Everyone who has been listening and giving feedback on music on this site,

I just released a new piece entitled "Dialogues of Pure Form". It was written as a due piece for any two players but this particular incarnation is realized on guitar and violin. While I wrote the piece, my friend and collaborator Donggnuk Kim helped to realize this particular performance with his violin, a performance I was very pleased with which filled me with a sense of gratitude that he was willing to put in the work to make this piece come to life. I used graphic notation to establish the form while the players had the freedom to choose the content of the passages. I'm thinking of expanding my work on this piece in a variety of ways but wanted to get some feedback on this particular take on the piece. Thank you all for your interest in my music and I hope something about this new work might speak to some of you. I'd love to hear your feedback either way. Thanks again for the interest and I hope you all are doing well as we approach the end of the year.

Dear Everyone who has been listening to my music and writing me on here,

I just completed my solo album, Rugged Individualism, and have released it on Bandcamp. Some of the tracks should be familiar but I have included more pieces that you haven't heard yet. Some of you have written me and expressed interest in hearing more of my work and some of you have even expressed interest in buying it. The opportunity for both has finally arrived. Thank you for all of your ears and encouraging words. They have meant the world to me. See link below:

Hey everyone I just released a new solo single. It’s inspired by futurist sound poems but put into an experimental folk context. Always love your feedback and thanks for taking the time to listen.
