description: A Place for Us is a song cycle for amplified pop tenor and chamber ensemble (amplified string quintet, piano, electric bass, and drum set). It is approximately twenty minutes in duration and is divided into ten short sections. The text was written in collaboration with writer Tamara Chandon. It explores a love story using elements of an archetypal hero’s journey narrative. The music incorporates an eclectic array of styles and focuses on rhythmic attributes such as groove, syncopation, and backbeat.
