Back to the Future Past

Personality Booth #5

O. K., so it has been a while since the last post to this site, and with the “Stay Safe, Stay at home” Covid-19 model, It is time to give it a go. First things first, I’ve set up the site to offer secure downloads of background tracks and previous albums now out of print. Getting the SSL certificate and getting it to work was the first hurdle. Configuring it to address the current postings was another. Moving forward wasn’t as quick and easy as I thought it would be.

…from “The Holy City”

…another challenge–getting the flute solos print ready. I’ve had requests for sheet music, of the flute solos that I play. For some this means type setting from sketches of handwritten music that I mostly use for improv. …like what you see here from, “The Holy City” flute solo.

In brainstorming how all of this should go forward, I’m looking back a little. So, I’ll start making some of my older material firts, and hopefully it’s really a stepping stone. …a springboard? I understand the need for new material. In looking through my materials, I found pictures taken when I attended the 1995 Christian Book Seller’s Convention in L. A. This was back for my first album with Chapel/Bridge Records.

Inland Seagulls

The time of the deep mist is here again.  Fall is knocking on the door. Last year I went out on one of these misty days to take pictures, and I’ll have you know that we are more than 30 mi in from the sea.  At the town square was a flock of seagulls, and as I approached they began to swirl in flight around me.  It was like being in a whirl wind.  I attempted to video tape the effect, but the video didn’t capture the moment.  I later composed a piece entitled, “Inland Seagulls”.  With this piece I played a Native American flute that was given to me by Kenny Reels, a local tribal elder of the Mashantucket Pequot Nation.  I also used a djembe to create the haunting sounds in this piece.

 

 

Deep Mist

Genre: New Age: Neo-Classical

Release Date: 2014

 

I love a romantic melody.  The works of Frédéric François Chopin and Franz Liszt have had a lasting influence on me.  And I wonder what composers like Ludwig van Beethoven would have done with modern instruments and keyboard textures.  Beethoven, for example, is known for pushing the limits of the musical instruments of his time.

This collection explores the use of custom made synth textures, keyboards, guitar, piano, bass, native american flute, percussion, etc.  Let you imagination flow as you listen to these intriguing compositions.  The Spanish influence can be heard in some of the melodies, as they weave together intricate thoughts and patterns.  Each song will breathe a sultry and melancholic memory, bringing you back to your most cherished moments.
