Critical reception
The New York Times called his work Adumbrations of the Peacock "a stark, mysterious and ultimately majestic concatenation of broken-bell piano chords, tremulous melodies and quivering textures.".[2]
The Boston Globe said of the commissioned work Sinfonia No. 2 un poco concertante, that it was "complex, deliberate, ultimately captivating".[3]
The Chicago Tribune said of his work for the Silk Road Ensemble that "The seamless evolution of moods and textures—from soft, somber lines made up of pained intervals, to more violent outbursts, back to mournful lines—made it entirely absorbing to the ear and mind."[4]
