PROGRAM NOTES
Joy Ride is inspired by the Ode to Joy theme from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It was written with a joyous spirit in mind, but it also has a gloomy middle section inspired by the usual meaning of the phrase ‘joy ride’ that refers to taking a fast, dangerous ride in a stolen vehicle.

Joy Ride was written for the International Beethoven Project's First Beethoven Festival.

-Boston Area storytelling.  Remember you are only a true artist if you recognize the genius in somebody's else's work. Keep your ears open there is genius all around us.

Composer of Electroacoustic music for Concert Band, Orchestra, Choral, and Chamber Works as well as electronic music.

This project is dedicated to expressing my love for God and art through Music. I make tracks of all kinds, but tend to focus on chill, ambient vibes as well as emotionally energetic and intense musical pieces in the Electronic, EDM, and Synthwave genres.

"With Just A Whisper" Is a reference to the passage in the Bible where God speaks to Elijah in a still small voice. It's a great lesson to be learned about the gentleness and closeness of God towards His people. People tend to think God will show Himself in a mighty, powerful way, but this is not always the case. God is as strong as He is tender.

The music you'll find here is the soundtrack to the universe of Bagatelle, written by Franz Wertvollen. Live through November in Cambridge reading the novel "Two Words on Cambridge".
