This is an instrumental track that I used for a video that I created back in 2020. That video was made during the worst of the pandemic. During that time, my loving wife and I would go on hikes on trails that led to lovely vistas. To compliment the photos and videos of our hiking adventures, I wrote the instrumental composition. However, I believe that the music is strong to stand on its own (without the video). I hope that you enjoy the listen.

2020 Spring Vacation

This is an original composition, my first for 2022. I used MOTU's DP11 to sequence/record the music, coupled with VSL's VePro7 which housed all "virtual instruments" (VIs).

2022 Hiking Adventures

This is my 2nd original instrumental composition for 2022 titled, "A Kind and Thoughtful Gesture". For the sequencing (recording), MOTU's DP-11 was used along with various "virtual instruments" (VIs) for this composition.

A Kind and Thoughtful Gesture

This is my first original instrumental composition for 2023. It's titled "Vary and Repeat".

Vary And Repeat

This is an original instrumental composition, finished 2/28/2023. Coupled with VSL's VePro 7, MOTU's Digital Performer 11 was used to sequence this piece. Various instrumental libraries were use for the "virtual instruments" (VIs).

A Child's Dream

This instrumental composition uses a number of different "virtual instruments". DP11 was used for the sequencing. The composition, itself, is what it is. However, I'm always willing to improve the the overall sounds. So, please feel free to leave a comment regarding how to better the mix.
This composition is dedicated to my work-colleague, Pamela Harmon, RN, who recently retired.

Life After Work

This composition is my first attempt in writing for an orchestra. It's also my first attempt is using "virtual instruments" that are "housed" in a computer. Composed around late 2004/early 2005, I used Garritan Personal Orchestra (GPO) for the "virtual orchestral instruments". . . around the time when GPO became available for composers like me to purchase.

Common Conversations

This is an older instrumental piece that I composed about 15 years ago. My goal was to use a few different and well-known cliched melodic structures and chord progressions while modulating into different "tonal centers", all while avoiding going to the "home" chord for a long as possible. It was an exercise in composition that I put on myself. It's a fun piece and I hope that you enjoy the listen!

Repeat That Cliche #2

This is an original instrumental composition.

Anticipation

Titled, "Life's Welcomed Options", this is an original instrumental composition. The virtual instruments (VIs) used are from various libraries. MOTU's Digital Performer was used to sequence the music.

Life's Welcomed Options

This is for the Composer Club Pro's 2nd Composition Challenge. Imagine a mournful mother rummaging through post-apocalyptic home & property, hearing and searching for her dead child's toy music box, as she softly sings a lullaby to herself. The music is set to such a setting. Composed using Apple's Logic Pro X, and using the following virtual instruments (VIs): glockenspiel, clarinet, violin string section, viola string section, cello string section and double bass string section. A "wind" sound effect was also used.

Lost Toy Music Box Found

This is a short piece that I am submitting to the Composers Club Pro for a 20-second challenge. It's titled, "Earthen Beauty". My wife and I live in a lovely area in upstate New York, near the Berkshire Mountains. In this area of the world are near-countless hiking trails that we like to take. The usual scenery that we see are forest, fields, and/or mountains.  Often, when we hike, we go from one lovely vista to another. And often we hike up steep terrain which can be quite the work-out! However, when we get to the top of our destination, the reward is almost always breathtaking beauty. This short 20-second "orchestral art-song" attempts to capture that moment when we finally reach the end of a steep trail and see that vista for the first time: Beauty.

Earthen Beauty

I'm happily married for many, many years with no kids, and one dog. I'm a full-time ICU/CCU nurse. Been a nurse for many, many years. I'm also a composer & musician. Musically, I've done the following: been a keyboardist in lounge bands (on cruise ships), played keyboard and musically directed musical comedies, produced musical comedies specifically for healthcare professionals as co-owner of Too Live Nurse,  directed and continued to direct a small church choir, and composed music for church, nursing, family and friends. In 1997, I composed music for the world's first ("Broadway style") musical-comedy about nursing titled "Who's Got the Keys?" which was a big deal back then, I'm proud to say!  I love my wife, I love my nursing and I love my music. Life is good.
