I have just finished transcribing and engraving a batch of 25 arrangements for Tegan & Sara, the most recent artists to join my publishing company ZMX Music. All of our ZMX sheet music is 100% artist-approved so the fans can know that they’re getting the most accurate sheet music anywhere. I’ll be working with the girls to get the arrangements perfect, and they will be available soon.
L’Imbroglio nel Lenzuolo, an Italian film I orchestrated for composer Ruy Folguera, is now available on Sky TV in Italy both in normal programming and on-demand.
San Diego composer Mark Abel wrote a 70 minute portrait of California in seven acts for orchestra and soloists entitled The Dream Gallery. I’m his music copyist and have been assisting him with orchestration, and as of today the nearly 700 pages of sheet music are finished. I’m also his associate producer for the recordings, which are already underway.
ZMX just signed the band Julian Drive, and we’re very glad to have them on board. As Master Engraver for ZMX I’ll be supervising the transcribing and arranging of all the sheet music of their songs.
I did the score editing and music preparation for Stewart Copeland’s opera The Tell Tale Heart, which is now published by G. Schirmer and playing at the Royal Opera of London for the coming week. The first couple of reviews are out, and it’s being received very well.
ZMX Music, a publisher for which I’m the head engraver and also a part owner, has signed the band Nada Surf. I am now transcribing and arranging their songs and creating sheet music for them. Nada Surf is a very successful American alternative rock band based in New York City and formed in the 1990s. They recently released their 7th studio album.

I did the music copyist, preparation, and engraving work for composer Stewart Copeland and publisher G. Schirmer. The piece is called Gamelan D’Drum and was commissioned specifically for the D’Drum percussion ensemble. The piece is a percussion experiment combining a traditional orchestra with a massive gamelan orchestra. Since gamelan isn’t typically written down, I got to invent a lot of music notation for it. Jaap van Zweden conducted the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.

Another collaboration with Stewart Copeland is now complete. I was the score editor and music engraver for his opera Tell Tale Heart, which will play in the Royal Opera of London’s spring series Operashots. The sheet music is published by G. Schirmer.
Composer Stewart Copeland’s score for percussion ensemble D’Drum and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra is now finished. I helped him prepare the 514 pages of manuscript over the last few months, acting as score editor and music engraver, and today it was sent to publisher G. Schirmer for printing. The premiere will be conducted by Jaap van Zweden.
