Score available upon request from the composer directly.

Les Ciels de Kigali (2016)
Premiered by Marilyn Nonken

Sonic snapshots of the tranquil yet quickly changing sky formation in Kigali, for equal tempered piano or one retuned to Grisey’s Vortex Temporum (4 notes down a quarter-tone)

Due to the scordatura, this piece is not usually part of the prelude set.

la memoire - premiered March 2018 by Richard Carrick and Angela Kim
Dedicated to the memory of Claude Debussy

carrousel (sur la touche) - premiered March 2018 by Richard Carrick and Angela Kim
Theatrical movement on and with the keyboard

Aigues Mortes - premiered March 2018 by Richard Carrick and Angela Kim
Evoking the haunting walled medieval mediterranean town

Pont du Gard - premiered March 2018 by Richard Carrick
Extensive inside the piano techniques, based on the massive aqueduct near Nimes and the implied waves of sound from the far away sea.

La Pedrera - premiered October 2018 by Shira Legmann in Jaffa, ISRAEL
Antoni Gaudi was famous for saying there are no straight lines in nature, as epitomized in this fantastical creation he built in Barcelona. This beautiful premise inspires a singular piano line without a metrical pulse.

Avignon - premiered April, 2022 by Marilyn Nonken in NYC
Another medieval city with a less haunting history.

Arles echo - premiered April, 2022 by Marilyn Nonken in NYC
Arles is home to both the great Roman colosseum (an architectural marvel with incredible resonance) and the place where Vincent Van Gough separated himself from his own ear.
