I graduated with a BA in Composition from the College of Creative Studies at UCSB in 1996 and have since written mostly pieces for guitar and commercial bits for the Hollywood-based Cinetrax Music Library (for whom I also occasionally play various plucked stringed instruments on recordings). Here are some pieces I created for/with them... they came up with the names! (Please note that these are copyrighted by Cinetrax; their lawyers can probably beat up your lawyers, so I recommend against using them without proper licensing.)

Down the Delta
Spy vs Spy
Barn Dance
Hobo
Hickory Grove Waltz
Le Groove Eclectique
Back Porch Blues

Since getting involved in ethnomusicology I've only made up a few short pieces in eastern Mediterranean styles for fun and to get a feel for how it's put together. These are mostly classical pieces in Turkish makam, but here's a bouncy little number, played by Flor de Kanela:

Laz Hanukkah

There's also a little chamber music and a short symphony I wrote and am slowly stripping for parts, but composition is a pretty tough racket to get into, professionally, so I think I'll leave it off for my autumn years. The guitar stuff is fun, though... I don't currently have any decent recordings of them to put up here, but if you play, please check out this page; I can make sheet music available to interested parties.
