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.

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.
