I've been really fortunate to have Bridge Records interested in publishing my music for the past 25 years. Most of my music is available in their catalog.

I think you'll find a significant number of people who decide not to enter competitions because their music just won't fit in that world.

I don't think of my music as being about something.

Even today, I notice that some of my pieces are explicitly tonal; there are actually tonics and dominants. And then there are pieces that are not tonal. I tend to think that there's a dichotomy that has to do with the way pitches are structured.

I wrote a lot of software to do various kinds of special things, and I loved the idea of composing pieces in an electronic studio.

The experimentation that I do has a lot to do with tunes and pitches and ways that melodies are put together.
