Weight of Memories refers to the way memories seem to gather and develop a kind of weight. Some memories lift us up, others drag us down. The album starts with the idea of a Zero Point of initial memories out of which repetition builds those feelings of weight. Musically I wanted everything to be simple … Continue reading Weight of Memories

Night Moon
Night Moon is a collection of four entirely synthesized environments backed by light-Techno (of the early 90s variety). The idea is that the pieces should be played quietly so the environment sounds are dominant over the music itself. You'll find where you like it. The pieces were put together very quickly. As such I don't … Continue reading Night Moon
Game Themes I
I Scored a series of games with a young developer called Aesc. He needed music & sound effects to complete his games. That is what I do. Aesc: https://aescosaurus.itch.io/Cover art by Jane Stockwell: https://janestockwell.com/ Something I hate when playing games is having a really short loop that goes over and over ad nauseam so I … Continue reading Game Themes I
Lands with Shawn Johnson
Shawn Johnson I roped in saxophonist Shawn Johnson to add his EWI playing to the main tracks "Trees" & "Night Crystals". I sent him the tracks and noted the main area where a part was needed. After that I was pretty open for him to do his thing. Shawn recorded 4-5 parts for each track … Continue reading Lands with Shawn Johnson
Red Skies Yellow Sand

Palais Matinee
Palais Matinee is about the early Classic era of movies. How enthralled audiences were to go to matinee movies where they could be whisked from their daily lives into stories of Egyptian Mummies, Cowboys, Detectives… We start the album with a rather lackluster pre-show performance from the local pit orchestra. It is a shame that … Continue reading Palais Matinee

Tarot I: The Fool's Journey
This album is an idea that has been with me for almost the whole 30 years I have been composing. I did make an album based around the Tree Of Life back in 2000 but it never felt like the right time to do the cards. Until it did. After Isabel, the Tarot album seemed … Continue reading Tarot I: The Fool's Journey
