		<description><![CDATA[After a brief period of time in limbo, my website has returned with a fresh coat of totally rad. I was trying to clean it up and make it look more professional, but I just can't get over how fantastic it is. I mean, look at that red thing on the left. What the hell is it supposed to be, anyway? I don't care, it looks slick either way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This piece for two pianos, called Fulcrum, is divided into sixteen segments, each of which is linked to a frame in an Adobe Flash animation. A simple ActionScript 2.0 program determines which segment would follow which based on a system of guided randomness.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For this project, I selected a segment of video from a BBC documentary called Galápagos: The Islands that Changed the World, stripped the audio, and composed my own. It depicted sea turtles eating algae underwater, then swimming on the surface; by the end, it had zoomed out to an aerial view of the archipelago. Unfortunately, I don't have the rights to distribute the video, but here's the music to it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good texts for art songs are difficult to find. I was playing around with some Percy Shelley poems, but then, as I was looking through Brandon Bird's website, I found the Letters to Walken. "An Acquaintance?" Year 2 caught my eye, and the rest, as they say, is awesome.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I traverse the distant haunts of the Pierides, never trodden before by the foot of man. 'Tis my joy to approach those untasted springs and drink my fill, 'tis my joy to pluck new flowers and gather a glorious coronal for my head from spots whence before the muses have never wreathed the forehead of any man. First because I teach about great things, and hasten to free the mind from the close bondage of superstition, then because on a dark theme I trace verses so full of light, touching all with the muses' charm.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This was a project for my Electronic Music course. We were required to write a soundtrack for any of several provided videos in the public domain. I selected footage of someone's vacation to the Grand Canyon. The music consists of polychords and extended tertian chords in piano and strings, a solo cello, a subtle synth, and my voice, all slathered in reverb and/or delay. The sounds come from a Kurzweil K2000. The video? Who knows.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Death, then, is nothing to us, nor does it concern us in the least, inasmuch as the nature of the mind is but a mortal possession. So, when we shall be no more, when there shall have come the parting of body and soul, by whose union we are made one, you may know that nothing at all will be able to happen to us, who then will be no more, or stir our feeling; no, not if earth shall be mingled with sea, and sea with sky.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For even as children tremble and fear everything in blinding darkness, so we sometimes dread in the light things that are no more to be feared than what children shudder at in the dark, and imagine will come to pass. This terror of the mind then, this darkness, must needs be scattered not by the rays of the sun and the gleaming shafts of day, but by the outer view and the inner law of nature.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the life of man lay foul to see and grovelling upon the earth, crushed by the weight of superstition, ’twas a man of Greece who dared first to raise his mortal eyes to meet her, and first to stand forth to meet her. And so it was that the lively force of his mind won its way, and he passed beyond the fiery walls of the world, and in mind and spirit traversed the boundless whole; whence in victory he brings us tidings what can come to be and what cannot. And so superstition in revenge is cast beneath men’s feet and trampled, and victory raises us to heaven.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[De Rerum Natura is an epic poem written by the Roman philosopher Titus Lucretius Carus (ca. 99-55 BCE). We know little about Lucretius's life beyond the fact that he was an adherent of Epicurus. The poem sets forth and expounds upon many of the ideas of Epicureanism - that the universe is governed by the motion of atoms, that we must conquer fear (particularly that of death), and that humanity must achieve its own salvation rather than petitioning it from the gods.]]></description>
