Audio Recordings Wave Files and MP3's Senior Recital Page now up as of June 15th, 2004! Senior Recital - Live Piano Compositions - Live Orchestral Compositions - Choir Performances - Piano Recitals     MIDI Files are wonderful tools. However, they cannot replace acoustic performances. Therefore, I've dedicated this page to recordings of various performances I've participated in. Namely, these include composition, piano, and choir selections. There are also a lot of clips on the Senior Recital page so please check that out! The recordings from that concert include live versions of several of my original orchestral pieces, Final Fantasy (Nobuo Uematsu) and Dragon Quest (Koichi Sugiyama) songs performed live, and lots of choral music, including madrigals, some arrangements of my pieces and video game tunes!

Live Piano Compositions

Piano Playing at Age 15

These exciting recordings are taken off of a low quality tape I recorded with a simple recorder at age 15 to archive some of my very first compositions. Friends of mine for Christmas 2003 found these tapes and had them touched up and put on CD - so here is the result!

Live Orchestral Compositions

    In the spring of '98, I had the priveldge of performing "Remembering the Melody" live with three excellent musicians and fellow students; it was one of the most exhillerating things I'd ever done. I hoped one day to do it again, and my wish came true. I joined forces with two musicians from my first arrangement and we performed an extended version of "The Jellyfish." The last arrangement here is a piano prelude to my piece "From Another Shore." My college career culminated with my recital, in which we performed many of my pieces! While MIDI is an important composition tool, one cannot forget about the beauty and excitement of an acoustic performance!

Choir Performances

    SSU is lucky enough to have Bob Worth as a choir director. I am the lead tenor in his small elite ensemble, the Chamber Singers. Our choir and the Sonoma County Bach Choir, also directed by Worth, performed for the Dolby Digital Trailer for Star Wars and toured Italy twice, performing in many cities including the Vatacan, where we sang in St. Peter's Basilica.

Piano Recitals

    I have studied piano on and off since I was ten years old. I finally started taking lessons in college from the wonderful teacher and performer, Marilyn Thompson. She knows just about the entire piano repertoire. Anyhow, here's me playing a Steinway grand piano in concert.
