Ledges Trail: the woman in the stone
"Ledges Trail: the woman in the stone" brings us to the edge of choosing. We can see the darkness, but not inside the darkness; we can conjure the roughness, the closeness, the coldness of the walls which will press into our skin if we enter. We spend some time contemplating: this is not a room I'm usually brave enough to enter.
The piece is written for a standard, open-hole flute with gizmo key. It uses many of the standard extended techniques, including multiphonics, flutter tongue, and air sounds.

A Song for dusk unfolding, for solo flute, $14.99
"A Song for Dusk Unfolding" is a tonal work which uses multiphonics to project harmony, as well as a sense of fragility. This fragility serves to underline the mood of the piece, which invites the changing of light to darkness with some trepidation--but also enjoys the warmth of last light.
Crossing Yam Suph, for flute with reverb
$19.99
Crossing Yam Suph is an evocative piece for solo flute accompanied by a gentle reverb. The piece uses a variety of extended techniques to celebrate a haunting journey across the Sea of Reeds.

May the birds and the winds sing you forward on this strange and difficult journey!

Healing Story, for solo flute
$14.99
"Healing Story" was requested as healing music in commemoration of the anniversary of the global pandemic of 2020-2021. The piece was composed during late winter hiking, when the year’s many layers of snowfall were just beginning to melt. Streams of melting ice and snow were beginning to form—underneath the snow! The water could be heard burbling down the mountain, deep beneath the surface of the snow. The ice caverns that formed these conduits also acted as resonance chambers for the journeying groundwater, and much of Healing Story aims to capture the strange and beautiful resonance that such a cavern provides for a burbling stream. When a stream’s passageway inevitably melts to the ground, the stream escapes into open air and continues its descent above a saturated stream bed. In these places, an unbelievably iridescent green algae comes to line the path of the stream and escort it down the mountain.
Wayfaring Stranger, for solo flute
$14.99

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is hard and steep
But beauteous fields arise before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is hard and steep
But beauteous fields arise before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep
