This tune is the result of taking two synthesizers and a multi-track recorder out of my studio and into the living room.
I had several synthesizers at the time of this recording and wanted to improvise something using just my Nord Modular and my Moog 15.
I used a Roland VS-1680 digital recorder to capture the improv and a couple of overdubs.
While playing this, I was thinking of my diverse ancestry - primarily my Cherokee grandmother - and this is the result.
I hope you enjoy "Ancestors."

This is a patch I programmed on the Nord Modular G2 synthesizer.
I imagined what it may be like to be camping in the woods at night and to suddenly hear a Sasquatch/Bigfoot not too far away.
This is not designed as a "hoax" to fool people or for people to use as fake bigfoot sounds.
These are not authentic Bigfoot sounds - it is me having fun with a Nord G2 synthesizer.

Like a lot of composers who do work for hire, I have recordings that were produced for TV pilots that did not end up being a TV series. This is one that was to be a theme for a series showcasing futuristic architecture and houses. It was not picked up, so here is the music produced for the theme of the show.

Theme 1

Here's another theme I composed, played and recorded. Enjoy! :-)

Theme 2

This is me playing my synthesizers for you - 25 years ago :-) Synths: Ensoniq Mirage, Korg Poly 800, Sequential Pro-One (2 of them live mixed as needed with the swirly arpeggios) and a Yamaha CS01 improv lead melody on top. Enjoy and buy my CD "Looking Forward" on iTunes. Cheers!

25 years ago, I played this for you. Enjoy! :-)

Totally synthesized (cooked up from scratch) cello and string sounds - NOT sampled.
Cooked up on a Nord Lead 3 and played for your enjoyment. Cheers!

Here's a sound I designed and programmed for the Nord Lead 3 as an homage to the band Tangerine Dream. If you have a Nord Lead 3 it's in there as a Performance patch called "Dreamer." Cheers!

Looking Forward

Here's a tune I whipped up on the Korg DS-10 synthesizer app for the Nintendo DS.
Yep - all Korg and Nintendo (and me) on a synth you can fit in your pocket. Enjoy!

I'm working on a new CD titled "Tarantula." Each track is inspired by a different type of spider. Here is an "idea track" - work-in-progress/sneak preview - of "Camel Spider." Enjoy!

I'm "Thanking The Universe" today! Enjoy this track from my CD "Looking Forward." Cheers!
