  • Bedtime Stories
    "Bedtime Stories" is kind of a juxtaposition. You have a very ambient feeling bedrock with piano and ethereal effects. However, you also have a more rock n' roll feel electric guitar doing simple runs throughout. The guitar runs are in the realm of David Gilmore (Pink Floyd). No, I'm not nearly as good as him; the point is the runs are not flashy; as I've learned, often it's in what notes are left out or are left to sustain that do the bulk of the talking.

  • Leap of Faith
    I'm gonna' be honest . . . I love this track! "Leap of Faith" was inspired by thinking of the challenges that humanity has been able to conquer by having the guts to simply take a "leap of faith" and go for the gold so to speak. When we truly put our minds, hearts and souls into an endeavor, there's not much we can't accomplish. So, what are you waiting for? Take the leap!

  • Imagine a Day
    What started as a simple piano run in D major turned into quite the experiment. While intended to be a ballad, this track took a mind of its own and developed into a far more upbeat song, with a concentration on electronic beats and heavy guitar reverb. In the end, I'm really happy with how "Imagine a Day" turned out!

  • Hard to Find
    "Hard to Find" is the first song I've written for the next album, "Processing." I'm really proud of it. It's a piano piece at heart; but there's some majorly layered guitar tracks. Not to mention there are two distinct/separate bass lines, as well. Hope you all like it!

  • Cosmic Harmony
    Ahh . . . where to start with "Cosmic Harmony." Well, its intro and exit have a very Seattle feel; but then out of nowhere, you'll hear some REM inspiration . . . and then when you think you have it all figured out, off we go to church with the angelic voices and harmonies. It's a cosmic ride!

  • Familiar Change
    "Familiar Change" is honestly a piano piece at heart. The piano lays the foundation. However, as with many of my tracks, that's when layers of the cake are added. With an eclectic, funky bass line, along with multiple guitar tracks . . . this is a track perfect for closing your eyes and taking a nap in the gentle breeze of summer.

  • Repeat Transmission
    I felt like it was time to rock a bit again. I've been on the laid back, ambient, shoegazer kick (which I do enjoy); but sometimes, I need to simply let it rip. And rip (my friends) is exactly what "Repeat Transmission" is all about. Powerchord heaven and a bass line waiting to chew on your face (in a good way!) Enjoy.

  • It Won't Be Long
    "It Won't Be Long" is pretty unique for me in a couple of ways. One is I'm starting to play around with piano runs. Secondly, there's a bass line where the notes bend to a new octave (similar to the guitar bends in "In My Life" by the Beatles; or Eddie Van Halen in "Runaround".) It's a longer song that feels like you're longing for something and hopefully . . . "It Won't Be Long" before it appears;)

  • Fall From Grace
    "Fall From Grace" is a moody little thing. It has tempo changes; it goes from standard tunings to sharp chords and back again; it even has some techno nuances in the background (if you listen closely). Hell, there's even a choir in there:) The title comes from the A A/G A/F# A/F run . . . falling down, down, down. Yep, that's show my mind works:)

  • Soul Searching
    "Soul Searching" is a song on a musical journey that is longing to find "home." Its tempo changes, multiple backing tracks, spirits speaking, and then some are all culminating together to reach the end of their journey (or "search" if you will).
