Desert Sands  :52 mp3 October - 2008
This was an experiment in writing a piece that sounded very middle eastern.  I was thinking something along the lines of either a trek through the desert, or an Arabian marketplace.
Arabian Palace 1:32 mp3 October - 2008
This was my second attempt.  I was trying to find the right balance of scale and ensemble to make this piece sound authentic.  While not perfect, it's certainly functional.
Pagoda Lullaby  :44 mp3 October - 2008
This was an experiment in writing a piece that sounded more Asian in nature.  It was written using a pentatonic scale, with light flutes, strings, and a taiko drum.
High on His Chair  :46 mp3 June- 2007
This piece was written with the intructions, "Make it sound Italian...like a Greek Wedding."  Hopefully I captured a bit of that.
