Middle Of The Road

I quick song I made, short but sweet. I hope you're mesmerized. 

See Low, See Ben

A sarcastic, yet serious take on the powers of our creator. And the powers of a dog named "Sparky"

The First Time

This November Francis Dunnery (formerly of It Bites), Dave Kerzner (formerly of Sound of Contact), Nick D'Virgilio (Genesis - Calling All Stations) and other guest musicians are putting out a special tribute to Genesis in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the classic Progressive Rock album "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway". The single "In The Cage" will be made available for download this month with a follow up of the entire album expected to be released in early 2015. This special tribute to the picturesque album is done in a "classic rock-meets-modern film score" style combining authentic vintage instruments from the 70s (including sounds recorded at Genesis' studio with engineer Nick Davis) along with a full orchestra. 

The album and bonus tracks feature Francis Dunnery on lead vocals and Dave Kerzner on keyboards (both have participated on Steve Hackett's acclaimed Genesis Revisited 2 album)along with a stellar cast of musicians including Nick D'Virgilio, Billy Sherwood (Yes), Steve Rothery (Marillion), Dan Hancock (Giraffe), Martin Levac (The Musical Box), Nad Sylvan (Steve Hackett) and more!

In The Cage - Sonic Elements Teaser

Electric guitar, bass, keyboards (mellotron strings and choir, organ), MIDI drums

I wrote this music for my wife, while she was struggling with sleep deprivation during an illness. It was my plea to Morpheus, to bring her a deep, healing slumber. The main guitar part is finger picked on the Les Paul, with a splash of chorus, flanger, delay and reverb applied to create a dreamy effect. Mellotron strings appear half way through the first verse, replaced with organ and a picked Telecaster part for the first chorus. 

The second verse is much the same as the first, except mellotron choir appears first, then joined by the strings. This leads into a slightly longer end chorus crescendoing to an unresolved 4 chord to finish the piece.

An a cappella acoustic math rock song. It's my first attempt at math rock, so be gentle.
