- The following links lead to music I've recorded. These recordings originate from - one of two pianos: my 1903 Bechstein parlor grand or my Casio PX-S3000 digital piano. - My digital piano can record MIDI, so I use a DAW to customize and assign a piano sound afterwards. - However, I don't edit the MIDI data at all. It's all exactly as-played. - For my acoustic piano, I either use my phone's voice memo app or my MXL990 microphone, - depending on how lazy I feel. - Any editing is done in Audacity or Ableton, though most of my recordings are posted raw. + The following links lead to music I've recorded.

- I have given a great deal of consideration to both the theory and philosophy of music. - I feel broadly dissatisfied with the current state of musical education and appreciation - in Western society. I initially pursued a classical education, but found myself - unwilling to engage in the rote practice that was expected to memorize pieces. - After taking a break from the piano, a good friend of mine introduced me to the - possibility of improvisational playing. In my improv, I attempt to integrate elements - of different time periods, especially baroque, impressionism, ragtime, and jazz. + I have given a great deal of consideration to both the theory and philosophy of music. + I feel broadly dissatisfied with the current state of musical education and appreciation + in Western society.

- I've only played music since 2021, so I am very much an amateur! I enjoy some of my music - and hope you will too, but I don't want to imply that I am in any way an expert. - I can also sing kind of, so there are some recordings of that, and there will be more in the future. + I've only played music since 2021, so I am very much an amateur!
