"Ah! This piece is of great uncertainty. This was one that I retrospectively placed on this list, as I never actually completed it, yet I had worked on it to a great extent that it merits a discussion on this list. Chronologically speaking, this was my first large ensemble piece (I started writing it in 2011 long before "Into the Forest"), which I remember first thinking of in my downstairs room at home at night, staring out of my window and playing around with a very generic harmonic progression that would later become the groundwork of the chapter ‘Dance of Rain’..."

What is this channel?
As a composer in the 21st century, I thought it might be interesting to catalogue and share on all of the projects I have undertaken, both for your own curiosity, but also for my own personal reflection on my development as a composer, and to some extent, a practitioner.
In short, this "C List" is the "Chronological List" for all of my major projects, including my own works, but also transcriptions and arrangements of other composer's works, educational tasks, and unfinished works that merit cataloguing.
For each of the works, I provide a reflection (a "reminiscence") about its context, how, and why I wrote it, as well as some analyses.
On some of these projects, I have recorded the entire compositional process itself, which again may offer some insight into compositional methods of 21st century music.
