Recorded this one on an old piano at work. Have to give Hans Zimmer some credit for the the D minor and sea theme influence (Pirates).

Across The Sea Of Lost Dreams

Somewhere In Time

Song In E Major

Dedicated to my former piano teacher Priscilla Gruver for her amazing support, dedication, and inspiration. 

Hommage

A signature of my music. Wrote this after a break up. Tells the story of passion, regret of loss, and uses gypsy-like theme.

Für Erika

A theme I wrote for my grandmother a couple of weeks before she passed away. I even got to play it for her. This was just me improvising the thematic ideas.

Grammy's Song

One of my most prized discoveries for a tragic, heart-wrenching chord progression. Maybe something you'd hear at the end of an Apocolyptic movie. Why do all good things come to an end? Recorded casually a few years ago with a dear friend in the room.

In The End

A sort of sad melody that looks back on all things. It develops while it remembers some of the livelier things in life, and then returns to the lonely, searching texture at the end, finishing with an open question in the music (on the dominant).

My Recordings

Impromptu - An Afterthought

Take me into the Forest with you,
Take me to the water's side
Hold my hand and keep me close,
Take me deep into your World of fairies 
and magical things,
Where the smell of soil and the sound of the Creek
Fill my ears with their Music,
A great Partita, babbling and waltzing,
Run with me, le Courant, 
over the keys of life,
Blindfold me and lead me 
into your magical Place

Romance

I see the mountains in the distance
they call out to me
Meet me there under the Tree
Where we use to go together

With her thick, strong branches
Falling slowly from above us 
Pink petals
Raining on us as we sat there
Watching the clouds drift behind the mountain peaks

I want to run away with you
to that place
Where the stream runs free
Laughing and splashing on the rocks

Along in the distance are the fields 
Of love and passion 
Freedom and serenity

When can I see you again
Under the tree of wisdom
Where I once knew true love

The mountains and the sea call me by your name
I run to meet them
Running away from you
But you could keep up
And you met me across the field of forgotten dreams

I ran to embrace you
The sun embracing the both of us
The birds singing the chorus
of freedom and love

When can I meet you
My heart flows with the gushing power of the waterfall
pouring out all of its vulnerability 
Carrying me out to the sea of remembrance 
and appreciation

And on that day, I sat beneath the tree
I remembered what you once told me
To always be me

And with that the dream vanished
And I was sitting in a room alone
far away
But I know that one day
We will be together again

Run Away With Me

Pianist, vocal coach, teacher and composer. Ottawa born, Montréal based. 

One can think of this page as a series of journal entries from the past, much like the way writers freewrite poem sketches or stories from their life. These recordings are my way of communicating my raw and unfiltered thoughts, feelings, and stories in my first language, the language of music. Perhaps you will be able to draw inspiration from the colours, themes and melodies, and perhaps even, you will get a glimpse into my very own thoughts and “fantasies”…
