I majored in music composition and theory during my undergrad, which is where I picked up classical composition. It's also where I met my lovely wife, but that's another story. In addition to composing, I am also a guitarist with an affinity for rock/blues/metal.
I'm very fond of this Brahms-ian Intermezzo. Although not really much more than an exercise in 19th century form and harmony, I am very proud of the results. Performed by my lovely wife, Talia Amar.
Written by Ben Draiman with 'Something for the Pain' in 2009. I arranged and recorded the song, and played all guitars.
