I consider Eric Whitacre one of my great inspirers, so much so that at times I have feared copying his style. I have suspected this by ear until now, when I had the opportunity to examine some of his actual written work. I played the pieces on the piano, and I am proud to announce that my musical style is distinct from, although inspired by, that of Whitacre. Granted his music is still much better than mine. Nevertheless, I am confident that I will close that gap one day.

Speaking of Whitacre, his latest blog entry contains an amazing youtube video which I would like to share with you all.

I think that is fantastic. It's amazing what people can pull off when they work together flawlessly.

Just a note, there is a likelihood of an even newer musical project in the midst of working on Romeo e Giulietta. We shall see.
