I heard this #Piazzolla tango etude on flute today and had to give it a quick shot on the viola. It’s a bit rough (just started it today), but it sounds great on Viola! Excuse my iPhone’s mic, but I added a little reverb to help it not sound like a tin can ;) 😂 #viola #tango

I had an incredible time this week recording on Terence Blanchard’s (@terence_blanchard) score for Spike Lee’s (@officialspikelee) “Da 5 Bloods”. It made me overwhelming proud to see two African American men creating such high art. Not to mention how much inspiration it has given me as I finish my own feature’s score this week. This Spike film will be a movie you won’t want to miss. Special thanks to Peter Rotter @encompassmusic for putting together a great sounding group ❤️ — #spikelee #terenceblanchard #da5bloods

Besides coming down with a damn flu/cold overnight, I had a great time speaking on the Director/Composer panel alongside the talented Annette Haywood-Carter at the @skiptownfilmfest . It never ceases to amaze me on how dedicated and talented @vincenzocarubia is. Much love and congrats to all involved ❤️ #filmmusic

Recording some music for a new AAA video game (so I can’t say more yet, lol) with my Marquise GS @codabow! I ❤️ how versatile it is :) I am very impressed with the GS line. It’s made for the professional in mind 😍 Check them out! #violin #viola #cello #bass

I just want to take a sec to thank Maestra Mei-Ann Chen and the @chi_sinfonietta (Chicago Sinfonietta) for a great time this past week. I had the pleasure to hear another work of mine premiered at Orchestra Hall in Chicago as well as Wentz Concert Hall in Naperville. - - My movement, “The Soul of Gaia”, features the orchestra in a cinematic display of earth, untouched by humanity. The entire commission was quite enjoyable, as it allowed me to write something completely different from the feature film I’m currently scoring. Earth Triptych is a three movement work that brings light to our pressing issues of climate change. - - My colleagues/friends @michelle_m_isaac (Michelle Isaac) and @farroy (Fernando Arroyo García-Lascurain) did a fantastic job with their movements! I think the entire work is something that should definitely be heard more, if not only for raising awareness in regards to changing our habits. - - But alas, there is more music to be written, as I spent the entire week with the orchestra and composing in my hotel room for the film, Lazarus (@lazarusmovie). I am so blessed to have these opportunities and it was so nice to see so many familiar and supportive faces in the audiences. - - Cheers to making a change and more musical journeys 🙂🍷 #composer

What a week it has been. I’m so excited about my premiere today in Naperville and also Chicago on Monday! The @chi_sinfonietta will be presenting a concert that features a collaborative work between myself, @michelle_m_isaac, and @farroy. This concert features works that challenge us to confront our issues with climate change. For more info, check out the link in my profile #climatechange
