I recently renovated this one. An instrumental, with moments where you can tap along, and slower reflective moments. It signifies the ebb and flow of a workday. So I named it Working Day!

Working Day

This piece was inspired by the poem of Emily Dickinson
"If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking"

If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking

So I am still experimenting, and trying new styles and themes. Some are hits and some are misses, but i guess its about growth lol. the vocals are rough, i have a tough time singing


My apologies to depeche mode..

The words are kind of like a riddle...

You’re a crown without a king
I’m a pawn without a game
You are daddy’s claim to fame
And I’m the one that takes the blame

But I believe that you can see
There’s a part of you in me
And soon you’ll know it’s true
There’s a part of me in you

Don’t you feel it in your heart?
We’re not that far apart

Two sides of the same dime
But how can either shine
When your daddy’s so inclined
To keep his pocket lined

He’s the master of our fate
We can beat him at his game

We can take the things we’ve learned
And work until the tide is turned
Or strike a match and watch it burn
Which do you prefer

I can see the signs
The longing in your eyes
The hurt you try to hide
Behind the veiled disguise

To be the master of your fate
Patiently you wait

We can take the things we’ve learned
And work until the tide is turned
Or strike a match and watch it burn
Which do you prefer

We can play by all the rules
only speak the truth
There’re more exciting things to do
Which one do you choose?

It all comes down to where we are
You’re in the light I’m in the dark
But we decide what’s right and wrong
Good or bad, weak or strong
Think for yourself it’s not too late
Who’s the master of their fate

The Master Of Your Fate

Produced for the wonderful https://citiesandmemory.com/ as part of their SOUNDS of Italy project. Original field recording by Giuseppe Calisti. I just turned it into the mess you are now hearing : ) Official arty blurb below

Leaving Sicily is a poetic remembrance, expressed through sound, of my travels across the Island in 2017. For me the Island was a constant  barrage of wonder; both beautiful and terrifying, welcoming and isolating, modern and ancient and familiar yet alien. The piece heavily manipulates samples from the field recording captured at The Falcone Borsellino Aiport to express some of the dichotomies above. Leaving Sicily finishes with the ‘raw’ sound of the crowd of the airport terminal representing the transition from my surreal and personal travel back into the world of normality - just another tourist in the crowd about to return to his normal life.

This is a song that started with Ian (IPG1 aka Lou) and his amazing vocal stem, of which I really identify with the lyrics. He has a plethora of vocal stems, so if you're interested in making a hip hop song, you did hit him up. He shared this psychiatrist l particular one with Tez (Llanpsych), who put a beat and guitar on it. Tez then sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth. Then Tez put the solo part in there along with the effects. he mixed and produced it, and an excellent job he always does, too. This is my first foray into making hip hop, though I've listened to plenty. Hopefully there will be more to come.

As a composer, I am fortunate to have collaborated with incredibly talented artists from SoundCloud. This includes my latest album with the truly extraordinary soprano Maribel Villarroel and the masterful arranger and pianist René Calderón for 'Canciones para Pablo Neruda.' These songs are based on the poems of the great Pablo Neruda, and permission has been granted by the Pablo Neruda Foundation. Please listen, Maribel is a tour de force and her and René's interpretation of Neruda and these songs is so heartfelt. I am so deeply moved and appreciative of their artistry.

Other albums are 'Entre Jupiter y Marte,' and 'Reflections.' The remarkable tenor Ricardo Tamura, accompanied by the accomplished pianist Lucy Arner, performed 'Entre Jupiter y Marte'. Ricardo and Lucy are both amazing. These songs were co-written with the acclaimed author Antonio Skarmeta, which is my most special and dear honor. 'Reflections' is a collection of my earlier works that were wonderfully interpreted by the gifted pianist Javier Gonzales.

Additionally, these albums are accompanied by musical scorebooks filled with beautiful art, created by great Chilean, American, and Japanese artists. These books, with the same titles as the albums, are available on Amazon.com.  'Canciones para Pablo Neruda" has been registered with the Ministerio de las Culturas, las Artes y el Patrimonio de Chile.

Another special collaboration among many is with Paul-Maurice Roche, the incredible pianist and composer.  Thank you for taking a song to new levels of nuance and emotion.

I compose all the time, so there are many other songs here. Thank you for your support!
