In addition to writing for choral and instrumental ensembles, he has created experimental music and art noise using found sounds, digital synthesis, pattern generators and home-made instruments. He lives in southeastern Pennsylvania where he sings with Bucks County Choral Society and Cordus Mundi, a 14 voice male a cappella ensemble that has premiered several of his compositions.
