His principal recordings include KMH: Piano Music in the Continuous Mode, Corollaries and Rivers and Streams. His NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert documented the solo acoustic-piano format at the centre of his performances. His recitals bring extended continuous-music compositions into concert halls, churches and contemporary-classical festivals, keeping the piano as the sole focus of a performance by Lubomyr Melnyk.
