As I peruse the list below it appears rather slim for someone who has been composing since the age of ten, perhaps suggesting
that I spend much time collecting stamps or playing golf, or find composing a laborious or irksome pastime. Not so. Over the years
I have composed many other works, not listed here, several of which have had many more performances than some of the compositions
listed below. The works included here, however, are those that I care about today.
Most of the mp3 audio clips within the presentations of individual pieces are encoded at 256 kbs in order to present these excerpts
with at least halfway decent audio quality. If you do not have a broadband internet connection or if you experience dropouts or other
problems during streaming playback you can download the excerpt to your hard disk, play it with any mp3-capable application and then
delete the file.

Film/Musical Compositions
Compositions collaboratively and interactively conceived and realized with animators, graphic artists and choreographers
in which animation imagery and computer-generated music, and changing relationships between the two, are equally vital
to the structure and expression of the work.
