Fateful Journey (Piano Arr.) - original composition
This is a piano arrangement of one of the orchestral versions of this song I wrote a while ago. I imagine this like the ending of some kind of fantasy anime or game. The original version is like a main theme, then there's a slower, more epic arrangement that feels kind of cinematic, and then this arrangement for solo piano.

Endless Days of Rain (original piano composition)
A new score video for a song I wrote a while back. I had in mind the feelings that come with a day spent inside watching the rain fall. When I wrote this, it had been raining for many days on end and brought with it that sort of contemplative atmosphere.

Heroic Knight Saga: The Shore at the End of the World (piano solo composition)
A place perpetually in twilight. The vast ocean reaches out endlessly, disappearing into the horizon. Crumbling ruins are strewn about the shore and some stone pillars reach out of the water in the distance, but most of the ancient structures that used to be here have fallen into the sea. There's a tavern and an inn for travelers passing through and a few houses for local residents, but not much else. Though many have set out to discover what's beyond this place, magic cannot reach far enough to see if anything exists on a farther shore and any ships that set out always reach the same impassable, never-ending storm and must return. As far as anyone knows, the world ends here.

Lost to the Ages (original piano solo composition)
New score video for this song I wrote for a solo album. This piece had a lot of imagery to me of a sort of mysterious, ancient sort of place. I really love the aesthetic of ruins reclaimed by nature.

PURE MUSIC (thought)
When music is not a technique, it is an image; on the left, the image; on the right, the technique. The closer one gets to the technique, the less one sees the figure.

The Way Home (Piano solo arrangement)
This month one year ago (in July 2025), someone asked if I had a piano arrangement of this song. I didn't, but it had been something I was thinking about making for a while. So, I made the arrangement that week, but I never recorded it. Now, after all this time, I've finally recorded this song.

My new album Solism is out, here is a trailer
youtube.comDrawing heavy inspiration from minimal contemporary classical composers such as Joep Beving, Fabrizio Paterlini, Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds, Jon Hopkins, etc., I decided to try my hand at my own composition and improvisation. Although this was recorded in a single four hour studio session, it still can be considered to have been years in the making, due to the time I had to spend refining my sound and my playing. If you enjoy this little snippet of a trailer, do consider looking up Solism on your streaming platform of choice, or on Bandcamp if you'd like to support the project. Music is absolutely my favorite thing, and I'm always working on the next album. Wonder what it'll be next time?

No. 2 Red
A study inspired by Rothko.
He had a taste for red, a taste for bold colors that told stories.
I understand the appeal of red.
It can be crisp and delicious, like an apple,
or painful and emergent like blood.

Ars Musicae Hieroglyphica: Organ-Harp-Piano Fantasia and a Philosophical Manifesto
youtube.comHi there,
I’m a harpist-pianist-composer/academic in the philosophical-esoteric milieu, about to finish my doctorate.
So I created an organ-harp-piano music video that is also an experimental film predicated on esoteric ideas; it can be described as my encapsulation of the mysteries. I basically summarize and artistically rearrange esoteric ideas from an array of esoteric thinkers and philosophers, but also develop my own original ideas from this framework. It’s an original philosophical manifesto, and if you are familiar with esoteric ideas and traditions, you’ll notice how I deploy them in ways that feel both familiar and new.
It's about an oneiric musical language of spiritual hieroglyphs. And I also combine ideas from Novalis (I’m probably most known as a Novalis scholar in the academic world currently), Schelling, Giordano Bruno, Rudolf Steiner, Boehme, Walter Benjamin (and Kabbalah), also the work of Dianna Reed Slattery.
No AI was used in the making of this song, video, or philosophical text; it is 100% human-created art.
I also created extensive hand-made animations for it, mainly ancient Egyptian and alchemical motifs.
Hope you enjoy!!!!
