Sounds
Being a product of the deluge of musical anarchy that was the 20th Century, there are quite a few sides to my musical expression. This is chiefly divided below into chamber music (instrumental pieces that I’ve composed for classical commissions, films, and commercials) and bands (in which I wrote good old-fashioned “songs”, play guitar, and sing). Yet even in these neat categories there is diversity (the rock music ventures from plaintive and ambient to bombastic and metal-tinged) and crossover (classical violin orchestration can be found in the rock bands and psychedelic effects-processing is used in the chamber music). Ultimately each piece represents a facet of one complex expression. Thank you for listening.
