Phases I-IV
Phases I-IV was written more as private music for a purpose - a kind of Sleep Music that is more interesting than usual. This may make it less interesting for others. Therefore the album is offered for $1 (or more if you like). The concept is similar to my Versions album. I wrote one piece, … Continue reading Phases I-IV
Prayers for those in the Vale Of Tears
The "Vale Of Tears" is the Biblical euphemism for the joys of living - only "joys" may not be the best of words. I wish I could save people from their pains and silly mistakes but sometimes all one can do is step back and let people get on with it. If you enjoy the … Continue reading Prayers for those in the Vale Of Tears
Blurred Hands
Blurred Hands became the album name because in many ways the concept of this record was always blurred.

Who Do I Serve?
Most people offering services try to be everything to everybody all the time. I do not. I know that there are people who I can serve really well. I also know there are people with whom I am not a good fit. If it impresses/offends you that I used the word "whom" that is probably … Continue reading Who Do I Serve?
Heart at Sea
Heart at Sea is New Age Sleep Music. Therefore please play it softly and don't go expecting drums, rousing choruses, or MIDI orchestras hammering away. The progression of tracks is deliberately set to help allow for a more restful state. Perhaps don't operate machinery - I only say that to cover myself as in no … Continue reading Heart at Sea
The Eternal Eternity of Mechanism
The Eternal Eternity of Mechanism was very much a case of art imitating life. The story started as a generic man vs machine thing but it morphed into being a lot more personal. I was thinking about how much music has become trapped within the grid of fear, as expressed through an obsession with making … Continue reading The Eternal Eternity of Mechanism
