This is one of the pieces I played the WIU Guitar Festival. Great footage.

Wedding Music

Christopher — Sat, 22 May 2010 05:12:48 +0000

It’s kind of odd being on the other side of the wedding music thing. As I’m a composer (sort of), and my Fiancée is contributing her visual art skillz in making invitations, I thought I should creatively contribute to the wedding plans.

So here’s my first attempt. It’s an easy piece. AND infinitely repeatable (awesome for wedding musicians).

(very quick recording, lots of flubs, but you get the idea).

A Short Etude

Christopher — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 19:56:01 +0000

This is something I wrote a while back. Needs a bit more development, I think. You can get the sheet music here.

Here’s my lecture from the WIU Guitar Festival. It just goes over some basic tips on marketing and branding for musicians. The handout for the lecture is here.

Four Pieces for Guitar, No. 1

Christopher — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 16:27:28 +0000

This is one of a set of Four Pieces I wrote last year. The score will be available again eventually, I just need to do some editing and clean up the formatting.

The Beginnings of a Guitar Piece

Christopher — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 05:11:43 +0000

A little bit of something that will probably become a short(ish) guitar piece. I believe I’m writing a set of preludes right now. The video is a bit…artsy. The Zoom Q3 does not do well in low light.
