   Apparatus Opener

   An update from last night. A rough "finished version" of the opener of the Apparatus show I've begun to work on. Look for more in the future.

   Apparatus

   With inspiration from Cavaliers' 2006 show and part of Norris' fall show, this is what came from it. There's some obvious restructuring that needs to happen with some of the parts instead of just building up with the percussion and unloading the fury of the machine right away. But I've been on a...

   After It's Finished

   Well, I'm sure you all forgot that I had this podcast because obviously, even I had for a while. Hadn't really had anything appropriate to post the past few months. Until this came about... This is an update on "Never Ending Blue" which has been renamed to (right now) "After It's Finished." This...

   Chopin Assignment

   In my theory class a while ago we had to write a piece using the same kind of technique Chopin did in his "Prelude in E minor." I received a 97% on the assignment but decided to continue on with the piece.

   Eulogy

   My freshman and junior years of high school, our winter line performed arrangements made by our instructor at the time to 2 songs by Tool. I liked the group and recently was listening to their song "Eulogy." So decided to try my hand at arranging and adapting (most if not all of everything I…

   The Woodland

   It's late, but I got on a roll through the end of this piece. Still in the sketching stages, but got a lot of ideas thrown out there and have a lot to work with as I continue to develop this show. Everything is original. "We open with Nathan. A mere boy scout four years ago who has recently found...

   Marimba Solo

   Lately, I've found myself to be in a somewhat depressing mood. One piece I'm working on consists of setting text from Lamentations 3 to baritone and piano, and if you've read any of it, you know how depressing it is. This is an effort to get something out that's not nearly as dark. It has no name...

    TREK: II-Hardships/IV-Reaching Terminus

    The following is somewhat of an update from what I had posted last spring. Instead of hearing the computer playback of my piece "TREK: Hardships." It was performed recently on the Wet Ink recital at UNL. Also included is the fourth movement. I cannot thank my performers enough. Very easy to work...

    Meaningless!

    This piece is based off of Solomon's writing in Ecclesiastes, specifically in the first chapter. Lyrics are the text, as posted below. Sorry for the lame Finale playback! 1 The words of the Teacher, [a] son of David, king in Jerusalem: 2 "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly...

    Tachycardia

    This is an update to my post last week called "PE Jam 05/2010." As was said before, I just went with it and this is what came out. A concept I've been looking at doing for a winter show is disease, particularly an epidemic. Something that could coincide with this topic would be high heart rate or...

    PE Jam 05/2010

    I apologize for the lack of posts in the past month. My computer's hard drive crashed on me and I finally got it back a couple weeks ago and was able to download Finale 2011 a few nights ago. I lost a lot of files and information, but thankfully, I still have a good amount of my stuff in my head....

    Tranquil

    I come from a percussion background, so this duet between vibes and marimba shouldn't be too surprising. I wrote this (and am still working on it) beginning of the spring semester, but didn't really get much into it until around spring break. I'd been under a lot of stress.

    Trek: Mvmt. II

    Welcome to my first podcast! In general, most of the things I post will only be samples of things I'm working on and aren't quite finished just yet, unless otherwise noted. This piece was originally written first of this four movement work for woodwind quintet earlier this fall. This just so...
