3.3.1 Music

As many of my works as i can remember—even the hopelessly bad ones. A few have links to .pdf files in case you want to see them.

I’d appreciate it if you would let me know at thorne@timbral.net if you download something and read through. Certainly if you’re going to perform something, let me know so i can show up and hear it.

You are welcome to propose a commissioned work.
