Audio on Soundcloud:

Bach Suites. Complete G, d, C, Eb suites and most of the D available on Soundcloud page, link below. All recordings made in ANNH at MSU. Operating as my own sound engineer and editor, I simply ran out of time during the sabbatical semester. A 7 year stint as Chair, including the COVID years, did not help provide time to complete the cycle. Did perform the set on a single concert for the first time last January, though. Love to play when I get the chance.

Cadenzas from movements I and II of Haydn C, recorded in 2014 with the Minot Symphony. Originals, with all sorts of musical quotes and references from that evening’s symphony program, the season, even some Avenged Sevenfold and Sexy Sax Man (Careless Whisper) at the request of my sons!

Language, Storytelling, and Music Captured during the remote 2021 High Peaks festival, the “mantis shrimp lecture” explores the extraordinary way we communicate through language, and what musicians can learn through consideration of the way we speak. Prelude from the d minor suite plays a central role.
