NEW RELEASE! "Chuckaboo" for alto flute and bass flute duo premiered at the International Low Flutes Festival in DC last month. I've gotten plenty of requests to compose more for low flutes. So here's one :) You can check it out below:

We got our 1000th order today (since the relaunch of spottedrocket.com in 2021)! Rose Bishop ordered a couple of pieces from us for the Eastern Iowa State Workshop on Sept. 17 at Coe College: https://sites.google.com/view/eifw/home

It's so fitting that Rose would be the 1000th order, and a fun surprise for both of us! Rose was one of the first people to read through my first flute quartet/choir piece when she was an undergrad at Georgia State University. It's through the support of friends that Brian's and my music has gotten out beyond our neck of the woods. Thanks everyone, and here's to many more years of making music together!
