A voice talent demo clip of an improv skit  i created while living in Montreal. I've always enjoyed doing accents and creating music, sound FX and horsing around on my then Tascam 4trk. Making mixtapes and surprising my friends at the end of side a) or b)? Enjoy!

A Parable For Children Withheld (Chapt I) Excerpt

How do? I play with language like music, its inflections, pronunciation, articulation, phrasing and dynamics tickle my cerebellum. It's all sound to me that serves the context and sometimes a story. 

AI still cannot accomplish or serve the same passionate purpose. Let me show you. This is a short demo and by no means covers my life experience in making impromptu characters and people come to life, passed, imagined or still with us! It's a state of mind and ever-changing. Although, this demo is just that. I have worked with many directors and creatives both in studio and remotely to achieve and meet clients needs. Drop me a line...we'll do just fine and on time.

Rain On The Wharf (Demo Cue Variation)

A song found in my demo archive to be continued...
I'm proud of this tune and its continued relevance. The plan is to re-record and possibly arrange for a "single" release. I wrote the lyric on my first tour while in Toronto where unbeknown to me my "people" were to enjoy legendary Gordon Lightfoot play at Massey Hall. Thankfully there was an 24hr Tim Horton's to crash and dine in post "Cloak & Dagger" gig. (No word of a lie but a song is true as an arrow flies.)

Acoustic Guitar & Live Loops - Stephen King

You've raided all the riches
You've plundered all the gold
Had this world in stitches
People bought and sold
For your pleasures are carnal
Internal battles waged
Decimate the normative
Let evil have its way
You take it out on Mexicans
Lead tirades against Canadians
Surrounded by logic
You find chaos
threaded in your Twitter
Like a Savant idiot
Call the Secret Service, "fools"
The gumption and guile you exhibit
Ride out this democracy
for dreams of oligarchy
Daddy prop you up
for your latest construct
A statue in your own image
'Tis rapture for the ignorant!
A coin for your huck
In your eyes a vision...
or fateful lack thereof
In your eyes a vision...
or fateful lack thereof
Simply grinning with pleasure
Vinyasa
Simply grinning with pleasure
Vinyasa
...grinning with pleasure

Feverish Dream (Ode To Gord) Demo Remix

Living a bicoastal composer's life has given me wings to gain perspective and keep me in tune with the sea. I am grateful for a creative existence, not without toil, solitude and challenges! This contrasted with the collaborative process with many talented musicians, filmmakers and artists I've had the pleasure to work with for over two decades. A dear teacher and humble fellow student, in his later years, once encouraged me by example: "You never stop learning..." Maestro Robert Drasnin (1927-2015)
