Romantic Vignettes

A small selection of intermediate level pieces composed over the course of three years. This is my first set of published work. It is a culmination of a purposeful reorientation of my life towards music and art, and an homage to the composers who inspired it.

Beginning with the process of taking a piece of music from seed to polished work, I have learned so much through this project:

  • Live recording, mixing, and mastering

  • The publishing process from InDesign to trademarking, and release to streaming platforms

  • Hiring and working with professional musicians, artists, and recording engineers

It has been a series of incredible experiences one after the other and I am so thankful to all of the amazing people who helped along the way. Below you can find some media associated with the project, some from a demo session I made with pianist Laure Struber at her home in Seattle, and some from the professional session at David Lange Studios in Tacoma.
