Hi. I’m a composer and pianist.

You’ll find examples of my music here, as well as information about contemporary classical music, especially New Lyricism, and some discussions of music theory from my own twisted point of view.

But my interests extend beyond just music. I’m particularly interested in copyright issues and changes, especially the DMCA, DRM, and the way in which the entertainment giants keep whittling away at fair use and our rights.

I work with a lot of computer software, both in and out of the musical realm, so you’ll find that is often a topic here as well.

This site is best viewed with Firefox, but Mozilla, Opera, iCab, OmniWeb, Camino or Safari are all just fine. Having said that, I worked hard to at least make it usable by someone whose browser is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, but I can’t guarantee the results in IE. After beating my head against the wall, trying to get things to look right in IE, I finally discovered a resource that explained many of the problems I was having: Position is Everything. So the final result is not too bad.

Relax, kick your shoes off and have a look around.
