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.

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

It's always a thrill for me to see new versions of my pieces on YouTube.

I never thought that I would write orchestra music, but in fact I did write a group of orchestra pieces.

If the music has a logic of its own - as I think my music has - an open-minded listener will apprehend and understand.

There are, however, composers whose music can only be heard in a chromatic sense. George Perle, for example, wrote pieces that you might think of as leaning in a tonal direction but it's very hard to register a pitch as, say, the sixth degree of a scale, whereas in much of my music I think that's often relatively easy to do.

I noticed things in my computer music that were getting old, and I started to figure out that this has to do with the way the listener interacts with music.
