In 2005 I released "On Being Human" as a limited-edition CD for friends and family. It was created in my home studio after I purchased my Yamaha S80 synthesizer. I wanted to put both the synthesizer and the studio through their paces to see what they could do. I also wanted to push my own musical limits to see what I could create. The result is an eclectic collection spanning a variety of musical styles. Yes, that's me playing every imaginable instrument and singing the vocals, with Pat Tufts as a guest vocalist for "Fencing Boy."
The performances and recording are not up to professional standards; this is my pre-production demo of the songs that came from my explorations.
I have decided to release this collection to the online community with the hope that somebody else will enjoy listening to my songs, rough edges and all. Anyone can now listen to "On Being Human" at:

Since then, I have also been creating electronic instrumental soundscapes, suitable as soundtracks for film, television and moody alternate realities. I have decided to release these as well, in a brand new 2012 collection called "Electronic Soundscapes." You can hear these too at:

Of course, taste in music is a very personal thing. You are invited to explore the music I have posted. I hope you find something you enjoy!
