Space Gator Live (excerpt)
Space Gator is a mix of electronic music and Zydeco, featuring accordion samples from Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes and multiple synthesizers. It was inspired by Monica Rambeau, a Marvel super hero who's from New Orleans. She frequently is involved with intergalactic missions, so I started to call her "Space Gator." The piece explores what those kinds of space travels would sound like.

An Optical Poem (rescored)
This is a portion of An Optical Poem by Oskar Fischinger that I scored for class. This is where my love of using Spitfire's British Drama Toolkit comes from. Some of the elements of this thing are weird, but that's because it was an assignment. (but also, I am strange)
