This page is not a shop. Aside from my own intangible cultural capital, I don’t sell anything on this site.

You can find mp3s of just about everything I’ve done on these pages or somewhere out there on the web.

Yet the CD, LP, (and in some cases cassette) format remain the royal road to high fidelity listening. For several releases, notably the Sand Point Sound Gazetteer and Favorite Intermissions, the packaging remains integral to the work. In a few of my electroacoustic pieces and in To the Cooling Tower, Satsop, mp3 encoding strips out certain frequency bands, corrupts phase relationships, and alters a smattering of sounds deemed detritus by lossy compression algorithms. And some mp3s just sound terrible no matter what.

For high-resolution versions of my work, currently in-print albums can be obtained by supporting the following labels and stores:
