His compositions frequently explore harmonic complexity and subtle sonic textures, moving beyond traditional Western tuning systems. He has received commissions from notable ensembles and musicians and his work is often described as challenging yet deeply rewarding for attentive listeners.

The Valley Performing Arts Center opened in 2010 as a central hub for arts and culture in the San Fernando Valley. It’s located on the campus of California State University, Northridge (CSUN). The center was designed by HGA Architects and Engineers, with acoustical design by Kirkegaard & Associates. VPAC features a 1,700-seat concert hall specifically engineered for optimal sound quality and visibility. Beyond musical performances, the center hosts dance, theatre, and lectures; serving both the university community and the broader public. It aims to provide access to high-quality performing arts experiences and foster artistic engagement within the region.
