“There is no way”
Sometimes it feels impossible even if the path is right in front of you.

“Just Out of Reach”
Here’s a new string quartet piece that I wrote this morning. It is called “Just Out of Reach.” Enjoy!
“Restless” — A new string quartet piece
I woke up at 4 AM this morning with the beginnings of this new piece in my head. Unable to get back to sleep, I got up and put it into Finale.
“I Tried”
I wrote a song this week for the first time in a very long time. It has lyrics, but this is an arrangement of it for piano quintet (piano + string quartet). It is called “I Tried.” Below is a recording followed by a video of the score with the recording playing, if you are curious what it looks like.
My inspiration for this piece is the way I feel when I try hard to do something and come so close but ultimately fail. It is about going on in the face of adversity — trying to keep myself caring despite feeling like fate is against me. The original lyrics reflect this. I may share/sing them someday.
We do what we must.
“We do what we must”. Written at 3 A.M. after waking up from a dream where I was becoming a bicycle.
