Welcome! This page shares what I’m up to right now as a composer and percussionist.
If you’re here to get a taste of my music, go straight here.
Here’s my bio and email.

My new work for three percussionists titled Plain Hunt is an exploration of English change-ringing and an excuse to retune your vibraphone the harmonic series. The world premiere happened at Rocket City New Music in September and we made a studio recording the next day. In advance of the premiere I also wrote a fun article about change-ringing on my Substack here.

I worked with Tom Jenkinson aka Squarepusher to transcribe and engrave his new tracks K7 Museum and K8 Park off his new album Kammerkoncert. The videos are out now, and thus my love of stemlets and preference for beaming over rests is made public. Please be kind in the comments.
Isorythmic Gardens
a new work in my series of studies for piano in dynamic just intonation, via my Substack.
This one continues to explore tunings that are known as “Moments of Symmetry” (MOS for short) — specific scales that emerge when stacking a single generating interval.
That sounds complicated but it’s not too bad: our common 5, 7, and 12 note scales (which you may know as pentatonic, diatonic, and chromatic) are all MOS…
The next MOS after 12 is 17.

Hello from Brooklyn
Now working close to home in Dumbo (that’s Brooklyn). With the Manhattan Bridge footpath right outside the window (👋).
You might still catch me lurking at the library from time to time as well.

Alarm Will Sound’s long-awaited Acoustica follow-up (aptly titled New Acoustica) is coming out October 23! This is now well over a decade in the making, and I contributed in several ways: a co-arrangement of my track Hanabi with our bassist Miles Brown, full arrangements of Aphex Twin’s minipops and Gameshow Outpatient’s Vole Sweeps Up!, percussion arrangement for Jlin’s Black Origami, and I also played percussion on the whole record.
They made a whole website for this project and you can check it out at https://newacoustica.com.
We just did most of the album live at Eastman (a homecoming for the band, which was founded there 25 years ago!) on October 2nd. Also, a single has been released: Faceshopping by SOPHIE, which you can listen to on the official page or youtube if you’re into lively comment sections.

I write a very intense blog, called Music and Math and Feelings. It’s a good way to got a lot of stuff off my chest, and acts as a portfolio of writing, videos, and compositions that lives on Substack indefinitely for your perusal. Like, for example:
one very phyllotaxonomic interpretation of the gravitational pull toward scales with five, seven, or twelve notes.
a rigorous and colorful rhythmic analysis of your favorite Shagg’s track, My Pal Foot Foot.
a guided video tour of making lissajous curves and an oscilloscope cover of Avril 14th by Aphex Twin.
an overshare-y homage to The Just Intonation Primer and a very very special interview with Just Intonation themself.
an anniversary megapost with fifty-two interesting music recommendations
premiere of Symmetric Palaces, my new work for justly tuned piano
an exploration of Henry Cowell’s “rhythmicon,” and whimsical (yet thorough!) animated analysis of Nancarrow’s Study #6 for player piano.
a five-part epic on organizing music with lattices.

I’ll be teaching at the second annual San Francisco Percussion Academy in June of 2027. This is a program of the San Francisco Conservatory for promising young percussion students and you should totally attend if that’s you.

Broadway: I’ve been playing Wicked on Broadway as a guest percussionist off and on for sixteen years now and my honest assessment of the movie is that I loved it and was so glad it was extremely faithful to the show except they made the flying monkeys all evil at the end which is just wrong. The monkeys are kind, gentle creatures who are misunderstood because of their appearance and thus metaphorical mirror-images of Elphaba herself. Obviously. Also way too much CGI.

Bonus:
I have turned the ubiquitous percussionist “black towel” into a personal exploration of knitting technique. My latest bespoke creation is a two-color brioche: reversible, squishy, luxurious:
This is where the social media links used to be. If you would like to get friendly updates on interesting gigs and official music releases via email a few times a year, you can just email me and I’ll add you to that list.
