The height of my video directing career was when Jason Curtis (Olin '12) and I coordinated some of us studying away to make a video to submit to Olin's annual 30-second video competition. We won the competition.
I first got involved in music composition because I didn't want to write a report for orchestra class. Instead, I chose to compose a piece with the limited music theory knowledge I had. I followed up by taking a music composition class in college. Here are some orchestral pieces I've composed:
| Spring. mp3, mp3 (live), pdf. | Fall 2008, revised Spring 2009. String quartet. |
| Autumn. mp3, pdf. | Fall 2008. Piano (crash cymbals optional). |
| Tango on the moon. mp3, pdf. | Fall 2008. Alto sax, piano, string bass. |
| Counterpoint. mp3, pdf. | Fall 2008. Horn and trombone duet. |
| Colors. mp3, pdf. | Fall 2008. Flute solo. |
| Summer. mp3, pdf. | Spring 2008. Full orchestra. |
| Romantic Overture. mp3, pdf. | Spring 2007. Full orchestra. |
When I taught myself HTML/CSS, I practiced my skills by building two websites for two of my friends. One runs an ice cream truck service, and one is a very good amateur composer.
Back in high school (circa 2008) I took panoramas using a point and shoot and AutoStitch.
