I am a composer and musician with a deep fascination for the theoretical frameworks that underpin contemporary music. My work explores the rich territory where post-tonal theory meets practical, seeking to create music that is both intellectually and emotionally balanced.
My research focuses on negative harmony and its applications in modern composition and improvisation. It examines how various post-tonal theories of the 20th century have evolved and interconnected. Through both academic study and creative practice, I aim to bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and musical expression.

Academic Research
“This research project aims to show how various post-tonal theories of the 20th century have evolved and are interrelated to the genesis and the workings of negative harmony.”
The findings indicate the presence of a musical space that transgresses the artificial confines of tonality, though retaining post-tonal centricity, i.e., extended tonality, and that negative harmony aids in interpreting these musical spaces.
