Collaborate

Composing

Kevin’s work is a fusion of the music he loves. It is built on a foundation of classical music, decorated with colors of film scores, musical theatre, classic rock, and Americana. He loves writing pieces that are emotionally engaging, colorful, easy to connect with on a first listen, but rewarding when listened to on repeat. 

Composing music is a puzzle of sound and logistics, balancing the emotional and structural needs of a piece with the practical limits of what instruments and voices can do to serve those needs. Solving that puzzle, while creating something that resonates with an audience, is what keeps him excited about music.

Educator

“The most effective musical education develops complete musicians rather than teaching isolated skills or concepts. A complete musician is one who is connected to a larger, more diverse musical world, through sharper tools of observation, better understanding of concepts through context, has a healthy creative focus, and pragmatic career skills. Kevin’s goal is to create a learning environment in which students use their ears and eyes to better observe the musical world around them, so they can listen deeply, think critically, and connect ideas across disciplines, historical contexts, and musical traditions. I want students to become as versatile as possible to understand their own creative process, identify and pursue their passion projects, and know how to earn a living from work that will fuel a sustainable musical life.”

  • Turnaround time depends on the project and scope. A new commission will fit into my creative calendar alongside current projects.

    For smaller-scale works, such as small to medium-length chamber music or short pieces for a larger ensemble of just a few minutes, may be completed in as little as a month or two once started. Larger-scale works take longer.

    Often, performers have a concert date in mind when commissioning a new piece, which would determine the delivery date, with a project timeline built backward from there.

    For a film score, orchestration project, or arrangement, turnaround time depends on scope, but also urgency.

    If the project is urgent, perhaps a recording session is scheduled for just a few weeks out, the scope of work will be adjusted to fit the available time.
