Research Statement
My creative interests integrate concepts of relativism, perspectivism, and environmentalism in music, and experiment with how changes in our perceptive experience might affect our understanding of meaning and identity. My compositional aesthetic is often inspired by issues and phenomena found in our natural environment, and seeks to challenge and bring awareness to how we understand and perceive our environment as human beings.
