No Dead Guys, a piano blog, is dedicated to new piano music, living composers, and thoughts on the intersection of music and life.
I feature music with a tune-and-a-beat, composers with a sense of humor, and performers with a passion to "unstuff" classical music and make it accessible to everyone.

No Dead Guys is a human-centered musical and literary site that features piano music by living composers. I do not offer sponsored posts or reviews, nor do I feature music created by AI. All composers or performers of new piano music who wish to be featured in an interview are invited to contact me using the form on this site. Thank you for your interest in No Dead Guys!
