Another week at work and I am already bored. Maybe I will take off and fly to Tokyo on Thursday.
Maybe.

[A poem today] a black nicotine cloud
a black nicotine
cloud
lays heavy upon
the sky
lights slowly drift
across the hardcold water
I feel the
silence,
there is aweight upon
my parts
as my mind fills
with drug induced
dreams
a pain is
slowly passing
over me
i'm going to
put some
Mahler on
& drown
everyone of
you

Greetings
Composer of Contemporary Music
A Brief Biography:
I was born, raised and have lived my entire life to this point in time in Southern California. I attended California State University at Los Angeles where I studied music and eventually earned a Bachelor of Art in Instrumental Music with and emphases in Composition. I also completed the requirements for a single subject teaching credential in instrumental music. After spending parts of the next two years teaching music in various public schools I began (for various reasons) a 16 year sojourn away from music.
During my sojourn I pursued a career in the computer industry as a computer programmer, system administrator, and systems engineer. During that time I continued in my creative endeavors by writing poetry and fiction and learning to draw and paint.
About My Musical Language:
I have a unique and evolving musical voice that incorporates both my Jazz and Classical training. I am comfortable and fluent in composing in both Modern Chamber/Orchestral and Jazz idioms. In fact; I enjoy working with in both mediums. My music is often difficult to understand on first hearing, but those who have spent the time to listen to my music more than once have come to understand and appreciated my highly individual music language. I feel that my 16 year sojourn from music has allowed me to come at music in a very different direction than if I had simply continue with out a break. I believe that those years in the musical wilderness allowed my music to ferment, like a fine wine, in my subconscious.
Scores Available On Line:
I have published scores and parts for several of my compositions. You can view them at http://members.sibeliusmusic.com/esharpe/. There you can listen to a computer generated performance while following the score.
