Having just entered Japan for a six-month stay only a few days after the massive earthquake and tsunami disaster that occurred in March of 2011, I was able to witness firsthand the indescribable amount of pain and suffering that so many were put through.
However, it was not just waters of destruction and sadness that swept the country; a wave of strength, endurance, and love guided the people of Japan to remain focused on what was important: recovering and helping one another.
Beneath the Wave's title comes from Hokusai's famous painting, The Great Wave. Next to Hokusai's signature he has written three Japanese phrases, among them is "nami ura," which translates to English as "beneath the wave."
In Hokusai's painting there are 30 fishermen in boats, rowing fearlessly toward their demise, unafraid of the titan that nature has sent toward them while Mt. Fuji (representing heaven), in the center of the painting, watches over them.
When writing the text, I related the events of March 2011 to some of the symbolism that can be found in Hokusai's painting in a non-standardized Japanese style of haiku, known as gendai. When writing the music, I represented each of the three disasters that occurred (the earthquake, the tsunami, and then the nuclear reactor meltdown) with its own musical climax, leaving the listener to feel the same relentless emotional ride that was felt during that time.
May all of those who lost their lives on March 11, 2011 find eternal peace, and may all of their families and loved ones find solace in knowing that their loves ones sleep peacefully beneath the wave.

Year of the Dragon depicts the intensity of the Chinese Zodiac's 2012 calendar year. It begins with a beautiful, tranquil, and melodic feel, primarily based on Chinese pentatonic scales. As it progresses, it gains intensity, twists, and transforms with octatonic scales and numerous different variations of pentatonic clusters as it reaches an explosive ending.

About Rift:
When two entities in space are torn apart, there is created a rift. In numerous ways, Rift uses the ensemble to insinuate its two main themes: space and separation. Large, swelling, dynamic-phasing in the brass representing orbiting planets and sparkling woodwinds floating over an atmospheric bed of sound provided by the strings, alluding to stars, are just a few. Using polytonality, offset rhythms, constant-changing meter, and other techniques, Rift communicates separation. As the piece progresses, its listeners are brought to find the piece's greater, overall meaning.

"Tabi," a Japanese word which means "journey" in English, is about the feelings of excitement, anxiety, joy, and the rush that one feels when going on a life-changing journey. Whether the journey is physically traveling across the world, or intellectually adjusting to changes around us, we must embrace the danger, welcome the changes, and grow because of them.
