“Sturgeon Moon” drifts between water and sky, weaving deep bass currents with shimmering synth light to honor August’s ancient full moon. Named for the great lake sturgeon — a living fossil that swam alongside dinosaurs — this track blends dark ambient textures with electronic pulses, evoking the pull of timeless waters and the quiet rituals of late-summer nights.

Sturgeon Moon

A slow, celestial journey through deep space. Chrysalis Voyage drifts on lush, ambient pads that swell like nebulae, with shimmering synths casting starlight across a backdrop of swooping, galaxy-inspired arpeggios. A soft, pulsing rhythm mirrors the ship’s rotation, creating the sense of life sustained over centuries. Layered choral textures hum with the presence of countless generations aboard a multigenerational spacecraft, inspired by the proposed 400-year mission to Proxima Centauri. The music arcs between wonder and resolve, fading into a distant, hopeful drone—an echo of humanity’s dreams carried across the stars.

Chrysalis Voyage

Inspired by my youngest son’s generation and their surprising shift away from smartphones, this 110 BPM indie pop/synthwave track blends retro flair with modern dance energy. Chiptune leads echo classic Nokia ringtones, lo-fi drums and vinyl crackle give it analog warmth, and jangly guitars ride alongside shimmering synths. Lyrically, it’s a celebration of freedom from constant pings and scrolling—a “retrotech revival” where Gen Z swaps apps for keypads, privacy, and pure connection.

Dumbphone Dance

An experiment.  An old melody (from High School), some notes from a trip to China and the talents of several colleagues

Dragon Dreams

🎶 Ireland called, and I wrote a song — where every note is wrapped in Kerry winds, heather-kissed hills, and firelit tales from old town halls. It’s a melody stitched with homesickness, clover-strewn echoes, and the misty magic of Ireland’s shores. Wherever I roam, my heart still dances on the emerald green. 🍀🇮🇪 #EmeraldIsle #IrishSoul #SongOfHome

🐻🎻   "Bear in My Yard" — banjo & fiddle frenzy, gritty vocals, hilarious bear chase story! 

[Verse]
There's a bear in my yard he's got my pie
Sniffin' the air with a glint in his eye
I holler out loud but he don't care
That's my dessert and he's takin' his share

[Chorus]
Oh run run he's comin' my way
Fur flyin' wild like a Saturday play
Climbin' the fence with a jar of my jam
A bear in my yard and I'm in a jam

[Verse 2]
He’s dancin' round like he owns the place
Fiddle in hand he’s keepin' the pace
Kicks up dirt with his big ol' feet
Eatin' my biscuits like a sneaky cheat

[Chorus]
Oh run run he's comin' my way
Fur flyin' wild like a Saturday play
Climbin' the fence with a jar of my jam
A bear in my yard and I'm in a jam

[Bridge]
I grab my banjo and pick real fast
Hoping that bear won’t make my food his last
He stops and stares like he's caught in a spell
Then he starts dancin' to the rhythm I tell

[Verse 3]
Now we're two-step dancin' under the moon
The bear's got moves he's hummin' a tune
Neighbors all gather to see the sight
Me and a bear havin' a hoedown tonight

Bear in My Yard

Rapture Protocol is a deep, high-energy techno rave track built for late-night immersion. Driving bass and wild percussion fuel the atmosphere while otherworldly baritone vocals weave through the mix, carrying a sense of both urgency and transcendence. Layers of harmony and pulsing synths create a sonic architecture that feels both digital and primal—like stardust born of fire and code.

This is music for losing yourself under neon lights, for stepping beyond the real into the simulated, for that moment when the drop hits and the floor becomes a single, collective heartbeat. Rapture Protocol isn’t just a track—it’s an initiation.
