about

It has been about 7 years since moving to Marseille. From 2017 till about last year, my focus was in research and, as a result, music-making took a back-seat. However, last year I found myself reaching for my guitar everyday, working less and less on digital signal processing and more on written works by Bach, Coltrane, Parker, and Zorn. While my day job is in no danger of being replaced, I became immersed in this material in ways that were even deeper than when I had the privilege of studying music full time. All of this lead me to venture out and meet and play with other local musicians. As I have some gigs in the near future, I thought this was a good time to share music I've composed over the last five years. Enjoy!
