I am a Toronto-based composer of contemporary concert music including chamber, vocal, wind ensemble and electroacoustic works.  My musical thinking is sometimes directly influenced by my previous background in theoretical physics. At other times the connection between those two interests is farther below the surface, but both are driven by the impulse to share an experience of beauty.
