I am a composer currently living in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I love music that is fun, and I love music that is interesting, but above all I love music that is beautiful. I enjoy writing both fun and interesting music, but I feel that the true art of composition lies in creating the beautiful, the music which reaches into your chest, grabs your heart, and leaves you gasping for air. I prefer writing for real, classical instruments, because of the added emotion and interpretation a performer adds to each unique performance.

I like most creative activities that involve making a lot of noise, mess, or both. Aside from composing, I love improvising on various instruments, drawing, sculpting, and cooking fancy desserts. My main hobby is mathematics, with special interests in symmetry, polyhedra, and surreal complexity. This usually manifests as collaborative research in computational geometry and other areas of theoretical computer science. I think the human brain is incredible and strange, so I have developed a great interest in dreaming and consciousness. As a result, I am a trained hypnotist and a lucid dreamer. The human body is pretty neat as well, so I enjoy dancing and judo. I always love to learn new things—variety is the food of creativity!
