REVELATIONS
REVELATIONS (2026) is a piece written for a percussion quintet + 1 double bass player. As I was coming up with the major themes and motifs of this piece, I envisioned a puzzle or a web of interconnected ideas. I wanted the piece to convey a sort of uncertainty and mystery that ultimately leads to a satisfying conclusion or moment of realization in the end, which is how the title "REVELATIONS" came to be.
Orange
My piece, Orange, is a soundscape I created. The composition is meant to transport the listeners to a peaceful, serene, natural landscape. The piece features percussion instruments including wind chimes, mallet/world percussion, and ocean sound effects. This has been one of my biggest projects thus far since I was able to bring the piece to life after arranging it to be performed by a live percussion ensemble.

(Absence of a Film) Score
For this Project, I created a backing track in ProTools that accompanies a live vibraphone performance. I formatted the entire composition in a way that sounds like a story; kind of like a film score but without the film (hence the title). The idea is to explore the relationship between the performer and the audience, and to see how the emotion in which a live performer plays can affect the audience, ultimately allowing the live performance itself to act as the ‘film,’ while the backing track is the score behind it. I used this project as an opportunity to experiment with creating more emotionally appealing compositions that can be left up to the listener’s interpretation.
