Eluding classification to this day, this genre jumper is a favorite of quartets the world over. Filled with plenty of drama, humor and musical games, this piece is lot of fun both to play and to listen to. Tex Avery meets the Marquis de Sade. 

An arrangement for string quartet of a piece originally written for the Masada songbook. My most traditional work for concert repertoire. Lyrical and Haunting. 

An intensely personal, emotional and complexly hermetic work that relates more to Harry Smith's film Heaven and Earth Magic than to any previous musical models. A trip through another dimension, featuring coded messages and fleeting references to Berg's Lyric Suite. 

"Messages from the High Masters on the liberation from imprisoning form." Nachträglichkeit (Afterwardsness) is a mystical exploration scored for flute and string quartet.  

A five movement tour de force of Black Magic and Alchemy, with perhaps the most intense ensemble writing I've yet achieved. 

'Mystery is the essential element of every work of art.'—Luis Buñuel. A study in frustration dedicated to surrealist film director Luis Buñuel.  

A book of evil. A witch's cure. Storms, talismans, blue-eyed demons and angelic orders. A drama for string quartet and soprano with original texts in German.  

A sextet for strings inspired in part by Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht. "Magic is not the contradiction to the law of cause and effect, but its crown or nightmare."—J.L.Borges 

Subtitled "Thought Experiments for String Quartet and Vibraphone" this is a powerful mini concerto for vibes and string quartet. The title is a version of Einstein's field equation for general relativity. 

A Curious and Detailed Exposition of Sigils, Signs and Hieroglyphs Peculiar to the Occult Orders, Hermitic Brotherhoods and Dark Mystery Schools of the Late Middle Ages. For String Quintet. 

A trip through an Alchemist's laboratory. A seance invoking angelic orders. Virtuosic lyricism, numerology, prayers, canons, contrapuntal complexity, alchemical procedures (distillation, calcination, crystallization, sublimation, purification, rotation) and the ghost of a fugue. 

Screams, scrapes, scratches and howls in the night. These thirteen short movements, inspired by the book of the same name by French philosopher Georges Bataille, contain perhaps the most overt S/M subtexts in all of my work. 

Six tableaux depicting the changing fortunes of romantic love: pain, desire, devotion, hope, beauty, longing, ecstasy, intoxication, frustration, anger and despair. Inspired by the work of Guillaume de Machaut. 

Subtitled "Music for the Temple" this is a hermetic tribute to Hilma Af Klint, the Swedish artist and mystic whose incredible paintings inspired by spiritualism are among the first abstract art.
