Welcome

Welcome to my new website. While things continue to come together, the site is still, and for the foreseeable future, a work in progress.

Latest news

My composition recital is imminent! This will take place on Wednesday, January 28, here at Indiana State University. This will be my first composition recital since my student days, which is longer than I care to admit, so this is exciting.

Also, I have begun work on two commissioned pieces; a trio for clarinet, bassoon, and piano, and a piece for flute choir. More information to come.

Why the new site?

In 1999, I started a website for my publishing company, Swan's Wing Press. At the time, SWP was only going to be a self-publishing concern, and would function therefore mainly as a personal website masquerading as a business. For several years, it worked quite well in this role.

Recently, my interests have evolved. For one thing, I've begun to take the publishing business more seriously. Previously, I had done the usual thing of photocopying pages and binding them with plastic coil, which works fine and I have nothing against it. But in the last few years, I've begun to make it a priority to present my work in a more "professional" quality, edited and engraved to a high level, and professionally printed. Accordingly, I am making a distinction between "published" works, which have been prepared to this level, and "unpublished" works, which have not. I will soon be re-doing the SWP website to remove the "unpublished" works, and give the site a more polished, streamlined appearance. The works removed there will still be available here, and eventually more of them may make the migration back to SWP.

As well, I've become interested in publishing the work of other composers. Among my current projects are new editions of older works. I have several of these projects at various stages of development, and will have more to say about them later.

The upshot of all this is that the Swan's Wing Press site will become more of a business oriented site, while this one is more personal and informal in tone, concerned with my creative endeavors.

Any new project involves going through some growing pains, and I hope you'll bear with me as this site grows and evolves.

Thank you for visiting, and please come again.
