Composition is my main goal as a musician. Visual artists have an advantage when it comes to composition. From day one they are encouraged to create their own artwork, but many musicians aren't encouraged to write their own music. We musicians are more likely to learn other people's music rather than create new. I would like to add to the music of the world by composing original music. I consider compositional and improvisatory ability to be the most important skill among musicians. 

Other than guitar, I compose music for various instruments, mostly strings, winds and horns. I play the guitar and drum parts on these recordings, and I typically record the other parts on a synthesizer in order to bring the sound to fruition. I would love to have more live recordings, so if you have an interest in playing any of my music, I would love to give you a score and parts in exchange for a recording! 

If you are interested in acquiring a full score with parts for your ensemble to play, please email me at nmordalmusic@gmail.com.
