Composer
I created a series of “Meditations” set in nature, featuring my new age scoring, as well as my own video takes (for the most part).
I hope you will appreciate those and it will perhaps transport you to these places as it does transport me

Vertiginous Music, String Quartet
I composed this String Quartet last Fall and it was premiered a few weeks ago, and performed by the awesome Invoke String Quartet.

I was initially inspired by the movie “Vertigo” and its Madeline character. I also started all during a short trip to Prag last fall.
Original composition by Andre Gueziec.
A majority of the footage is my own.

Bb Clarinet and Piano
In September 2017 the SJSU music building experienced a total power outage minutes before the downbeat of my recital. I wrote “Quelle Histoire!” in the days following this incident as a musical response. The trumpet illustrates my efforts in trying to cope with the situation while the piano interprets a chromatic descent.
For Flute, Bb Clarinet and Percussion.
Playtime starts with a fanciful children’s melody becoming increasingly dissonant. A child plays video games in their parent’s car stuck in Silicon Valley traffic. Playtime is in ternary form; during the middle contrasting section, a very long traffic light (as they are) provides an opportunity for the Clarinet and Flute to trade lyrical lines. Heavy traffic resumes afterwards.
I dedicated Playtime to my wife Elsa.
For Solo Guitar
“Guitarondo” is a short guitar piece I wrote initially as a rondo. I didn’t like the B and C sections I wrote and therefore the piece settled as a repeated A with alternate endings.
For Piano
“Petite Voiture Rouge” is dedicated to my son Louis who loves very much the little red car he and I bought together for him. I wrote this piece last Spring after we purchased the car. I wanted to portray a spacious feeling as if he and I were driving on a beautiful country road.
