Current Projects
La Nitroglycérine des Lumières

Figures Outside a Dacha, with Sunrise
A new work for solo piano for Nicolas Hodges, which has given birth to a series of shorter pieces, Studies for Figures Outside a Dacha, both coming as a response to dreamlike sequences in Andrei Tarkovsky's Nostalghia.
