Notability. This composer, though he has a nice academic record, hasn't made any impact in the classical music world and does not meet the notability criteria:

Hasn't been the subject of independent media coverage.
His pieces haven't been performed/recorded by major ensembles, orchestras or performers.
His pieces haven't won any major composition competition not established expressly for newcomers.
He is not credited as a major developer for MAX/MSP.
Not relevant as a teacher (although he is an assistant professor).

Once more: not every professional musician deserves an article here. Karljoos (talk) 20:38, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
