Several years ago, after having started to learn the piano, I began to write miniatures as a way of exploring technique and composition. Some of the the less awful ones are here. Most are unconnected with each other, though I occasionally get the idea for a suite. Sounds Found on a Wall is an open-ended set of pieces created as responses to the pictures that decorate my home. I have also been creating some pastiche folk tunes to make a companion suite to Ceremonial Music from an Unreal Country. All pieces are for piano and available for free.
