For thirty years, up to 1999, I was a painter. Then I needed to compose music.


In 2005, when I released ARCHAIC, a CD of my symphonies, Minnesota Public Radio’s Marianne Combs interviewed me about my switch from painting to composing. Check out PAINTING WITH SOUND for a text version of that interview that includes two paintings, and also visits with some people who have helped me along the way.
