I am a composer and educator based in New York, writing music inspired by minimalism, Croatian folk traditions, and American popular music. I am an artist who welcomes collaboration in my process, composing for performances, films, and installations, using both acoustic instruments and electronic sound design.
As Lecturer in Composition and Music Creation Technologies at Binghamton University, I support students’ creative development, helping them find their own artistic voices and paths. I teach composition lessons, and have designed graduate and undergraduate courses that bring together technology, scholarship, and composition, with Digital Music Creation, Songwriting & Production, Intro to Electronic Composition, and Image / Movement / Digital Media. I am also the founding director of Binghamton University’s Laptop Orchestra, an ensemble course that focuses on live electronic performance.
