👏Another awesome world premiere! A MASSIVE thank you to @oswaldhuynh for his creativity and artistry, and for this beautiful and compelling new #reedquintet, “These Few Specks of Time.”

Listen to a clip of the second movement, “Father [TIME], here!

Another big thanks to the 💎Jewel Box series at @neiulife for having us back and hosting us for yet another killer world premiere.

Looking forward to playing this piece again in Arkansas next week at @uarkansas alongside new works by @iderrickskye & @jeffscott_composer 🤩

🌎Ahead of #EarthDay – “All Consuming (Video Edit)” from the album “Are We Dreaming the Same Dream?” out April 26, 2024 on @brightshinytgs . Preorder link in comments!

Working alongside Le Boeuf and Philadelphia filmmakers @fourtenmedia, we crafted instruments out of salvaged garbage and single-use plastics, and then drove all of the items back to Michigan to make sure they were properly recycled so they would not end up in landfills.♻️

“All Consuming” asks the question: What happens when you are not responsible about your consumerism or usage? This track, with its examination of the chaos brought about by consumerism in America, formed the initial thread that would culminate in Are We Dreaming the Same Dream?, a broader work about American identity.
