I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be working with Toronto-based voice and violin duo ‘Vox and Bow’ on an exciting new composition project coming in Spring 2027. More information coming soon!
I’m pleased to announce that my grant from the Ontario Arts Council has been approved in order to fund my first solo piano album, entitled: The Lives We Leave Behind.
This album will feature a number of pieces that involve the piano and live electronics, and will feature the incredible Wesley Shen on the keyboard.
Keep an eye out for more information to be posted soon! Thank you to the Ontario Arts Council for making this project a reality!
I have been commissioned by Edmonton-based violinist Arlan Vries as part of his OCAD-funded FutureProofing research project. Each composition in the project involves utilizing a piece of outdated technology. For my piece, entitled P@ch$nk0, I aim to successfully fuse the sound of the violin and a 1990s Japanese Pachislo slot machine. Audience members will participate in the piece by playing the game, contributing to the soundscape, and determining the direction of the overall composition based on whether they win or lose.
The piece will be performed on June 20th, in Walter Hall at the University of Toronto.
I’m pleased to announce that I have been commissioned by New Music Concerts Toronto for a piece for their upcoming Future Resonance Festival in May 2026. The piece will be written for Indian Sarode and live electronics and will be written for the incredible Atish Mukhopadhyay. I’m excited to share more information and post a recording as soon as it becomes available!
This year I had the honour of being part of New Music Concerts Toronto’s MAKEWAY composer program, where I worked on developing my piece Feeling along... for 5 Instruments and Electronics.
‘Feeling along...’ is a piece where musicians perform barefoot and feel their way across a multi-textured performance surface created by stitching together carpet off-cuts, linoleum tiles, stone tiles, and other common flooring surfaces. The semi-improvisational score, comprised of cards and a set of game rules, guides performers across the performance surface.
Performers translate the textural responses they feel to sound through a pre-determined set of instructions given on the cards. To enhance the visual experience for the audience, projections utilizing an digitally distorted live webcam feed should be shone onto the carpet surface from a raised platform.
Stay tuned for a recording of Feeling along… soon!
I’m pleased to announce the creation of a brand new electroacoustic series based in Toronto, entitled Digital: North!
The idea behind this concert series is to support new Canadian electroacoustic music from across the country, by featuring both emerging Canadian composers as well as bringing new attention to historic and significant Canadian electroacoustic works.
Our first concert is happening on May 17th at 7:00 p.m. at St. George Church on the Grange (30 Stephanie St.) in Toronto.
