Welcome to my site.

For me, it is all about the MUSIC!  But I seem to be someone who cannot create just one kind of music.
Here you will discover that I have written in abstract modern styles, in popular styles, and for old instruments and new!
I play piano, guitar, electric bass guitar, mandolin, synthesizer, recorder, theremin, violin (I just scrape by) and the occasional percussion part.
But another part of me creates electronic landscapes that seem to belong to the world of science fiction!  Check it out—it’s all here!

Thank you for visiting.  Check back from time to time for more new soundfiles.
