I am recently retired from Middlebury College where I taught music for 32 years. My field was electronic composition though I also taught courses in theory, history and introduction to music.

My graduate work in music was done at Princeton 1962-64. I also have an MBA from Stanford University.

I have been painting for a little over a year now. The transition from composition with sounds to composition with visual materials has been delightfully effortless. My musical techniques can be translated almost directly to painting. Color is orchestration. Hue is loudness. Line is melody, composition is harmony. There are parallels in such concepts as background-foreground, echoing of shapes, emotional content, iconography. It seems every time I address a visual problem I find myself thinking musically. And as a composer, my music was usually based on visual models. When I am asked if I have given up composing I answer honestly that I haven't. I just do it in a different medium.

I paint because it is gratifying. To my surprise, some of my works have been purchased; this doesn't diminish the gratification. Should you be interested in purchasing or commissioning something from me my address is RD1 Box 157B, New Haven VT 05472 (802) 388 9819.
