This was my first original upload with vocals, remixed a bit. It's a little story about someone who's lost touch with reality, where everything done and thought is a contradiction of the previous thing. Written for piano, string quartet, synthesizer, and drums. As per usual, all performance and engineering by me. 

Instrumentation:
live drums (muffled to shit for that awesome Don Henley sound)
Dimension Pro orchestral library
Kontakt Piano
Pigments
Z3TA+2
lots of vocal tracks

2013 - On Pounds Of Bedlam

Composed and produced by yours truly for Legoland California's 2005 Summer Fireworks Spectacular, "A Spark In The Knight", it relies heavily on EW/QL's Symphonic Gold, my Chapman Stick, Greg Sandoval's Drums (recorded in Kim Foscato's attic), and Ruff Yeager's Narration. Thanks to Laura Lee Juliano for the gig.

A Spark In The Knight

96.5 KOIT Taylor Swift Jingle Contest

Learning yesterday that I was a few months late looking up the maker of this flute. Thomas "Hap" Newman had crossed the veil of mists. This morning I dug this long neglected and broken gem out of the garage, and gave it breath.   The cracks and repairs had made it nigh unplayable for years and decades, but today it sang.  For all the Black Point Renaissance Faire friends who knew him.

Recorded April 1, 2024.  Forgive the long absent practice.

Cloudbusting (Aachen, Kate Bush)

A cover of one of my favorite tunes from my favorite band. Since I'm not much of a guitar player, I kind of re-imagined most of the parts using keyboard instruments. My friend Joe Gilbert came in and gave a brilliant Pete Trewavas/Geddy Lee type bass performance. Other than that, all drums, keys, vocals, recording, and engineering by me. 

Instrumentation:
Roland VDrums
Korg Kronos
Sequential Prophet 600
Sequential Prophet 12
Roli Seaboard (using Equator)
Arturia Jupiter 8v
Arturia Mellotron V
