I really had a great time composing 'Song Offerings' for Kantorei... the collaboration was so loose and relaxed, I rediscovered a real youthful enthusiasm for making music that I hadn't felt in a while. Read all about the process on my creative blog (link in bio).

I've been doing more purely musical projects & taking on fewer film & game scores. Looking ahead there'll be a range of releases coming that are an expression of the newfound joy I've found in being a composer & artist. 'Song Offerings' is the 1st chapter.

"That I want thee, only thee--let my heart repeat without end."
Gitanjali is one of the most beautiful works I've ever read about devotional love for the divine. I imagined my job as the composer to channel that pure love in the most direct means possible.

'Gitanjali' is a gorgeous book of poetry by Rabindranath Tagore. Check out this stunning verse: "The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures."
