Armed with broad experience in life and music, I am a veteran with 40+ years as both a software developer and a musician, with an M.A. in teaching from USC, freely embracing fate with a strong heart and a wondrous mind. Amazed by the drama of humankind, by all its glories and horrors. Responding with diverse expression if possible, with songs of internally perceived truth, integrating vocals and instrumental guitar accompaniment, combining lyrical story and imagery with music ranging from cool chord-melody Brazilian and jazz to searing flamenco and rock, from simple to sophisticated. My musical intention attempts to resonate with the truth of higher more comprehensive states of being as well as the purposes of evolution. I thank the visionary thinker R. Buckminster Fuller and the philosopher Alan Watts for starting me down that matrix of integrative thought. Al DiMeola and Carlos Santana could represent their musically influential counterparts. In all, I seek to humbly contribute what I may.

You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself. -Alan Watts-

Play from your fucking heart - Bill Hicks

All those sounds are basically just jams or melodies that I've come up with and like. It's not professional or anything, just a collection of thoughts expressed through sound.

Mental Pictures is my surreal, other-worldly, melodically colorful musical landscape conceptually created over the last 30 years, between my time busking in the streets and underground tunnels of Montreal, London and around Europe, to my time living and recording in Athens, Ga back in the mid-1990s to my time coming home and setting up my life and studio in the beautiful Golden Isles of South East Georgia in the early 2000's where I met my lovely Russian wife Elena with whom we now have three cool kids, Liam, Max and Chloe. 

Mental Pictures delves into the nature of reality and all things mystical, wonderful and hidden that are perceived through the senses. I like to bring light to the world and I use the songs as vehicles for my "out-there" thoughts and messages. I see the world as an Energetic Realm where we each get to play a part and explore the nature of our consciousness, where the universe experiences itself through transformation and transmutation of amazing energies, and in that regard I hope to inspire others to be their best enlightened human character, so to speak, during this amazing life journey we are all experiencing. :) 

I hope you dig the words and sounds I have created... as I made them especially for people like you...people who are willing to look deeper than what is on the surface. If you've read this far then I know you are someone special who is willing to look deeper into this mysterious world. Thanks for taking a look and having a listen. I hope ya dig it! All the best to you and your loved ones! :)
