Bio/Research
The significant influences on my work as a composer are my experience as a rock/blues guitar player in early 70's bands, as a renaissance and baroque lutenist in late 70's early music ensembles, and as a student of Western art music from the 12th through 20th centuries at the University of California at Davis, The State University of New York at Stony Brook, and Brandeis University.

It frequently includes electric guitar that I play myself but I continue to be fascinated by the possibilities and idiosyncrasies of traditional acoustic instruments and the people who play them. In particular I find the possibilities of a virtuoso soloist and ensemble to be fascinating.
