I’m very excited to be the composer for the upcoming film ‘Fatal Perfection’, written and directed by Konstantinos Pateronis. The story is inspired by the Greek myth of Narcissus, the man who fell in love with himself. Check out a recent interview about the project below. More information can be found on the project’s Indiegogo campaign.
Abbey Road Studios Recording
It’s been 3 years since I got to record my piece “What These Ithakas Mean”, at the world renowned Abbey Road Studios in London, UK. It was such an honor to conduct my music in the same room where some of the most influential records were created.
The piece was inspired by the poem Ithaka, by C.P. Cavafy. I have fond memories of my mother reciting it to me before bedtime. The final stanza reads:
And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.
Check out the video below from the recording of “What These Ithakas Mean” at Abbey Road Studios, featuring 51 world class musicians. Dedicated to my family.

ìjálá (dance film)
Dear friends, please check out this film featuring the incredibly talented Robyn Nisbet. She is pushing the boundaries of expression by combining dance, martial arts and West African spiritual tradition. I had the pleasure of writing the music for the film, a duet for classical and electric guitar. Enjoy!
