Thank you for stopping by. I'm taking a break from SC so my apologies in advance if I am unable to respond to comments, etc.  They pulled my latest song so if interested you can listen to 'With You In My Life,' on any of the streaming services listed below. 

Thank you and much respect to all the amazing music makers on this platform who have thrilled, supported and inspired.

I teach in US higher education (in a STEM field) for a living & am a hobbyist composer writing in a few different styles. I recommend headphones. All of my music is released under a Creative Commons Attribution/Noncommercial license.

My bandcamp page is getting out of date again, but some older albums there can be downloaded for free or for a name-your-own price donation.

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.

Unsolicited messages asking me to listen to your latest song will lead to you being blocked unless if I know you well and we've interacted a lot.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!
