I am a pianist and composer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I believe in the importance of music (and art) to the mental and spiritual well-being of a society and aim with my work to push existing boundaries into new and stimulating territory. My artistic work can best be described as poly-stylistic and encompassing of a variety of disciplines. I am interested in dynamic interactions between composer and performer, performer and written music, and musicians and audience, and work toward building and exploring new pathways in traditionally settled terrain. I have experience in a variety of notational, formal, and stylistic modes, encompassing everything from conventional genre definitions to narrative-intuitive graphic scores and beyond.As a pianist/keyboardist, I have performed across the US, Europe, and Brazil in new music, jazz, free improvisation, rock, etc contexts, with experience as an accompanist, soloist, and ensemble musician.
