Rise

A test after moving the studio, became an exercise in minimalist layering of a 2 chord progression. At the time, I found old studio tapes of a band I recorded over 35 years ago. The influence of that find mixed with the new location somehow spawned this piece. Reminiscent of U2, with some more spatial influences ala Pink Floyd. Thanks to my old friend Alex and the rest of the band for the original inspiration. This composition and portions thereof, have been licensed for use in several media  formats including movies, commercials and promotional advertisements which may sound familiar. This and all tracks featured as samples on this site are subject to the copyright notice at the top of the page.

To A Degree

A composition for film score use inspired by an unexpected encounter with an old musical comrade before his passing- this falls between a Bowie-Ziggy Stardust and Roxy Music-ish feel, with a haunting, thoughtful undertone. The voice of a higher power, if you will - (sincere thanks to Paul for the inspiration - you are missed greatly) Listen, and let your own story unfold. This composition and portions thereof, have been licensed for use in several media formats including movies, commercials and promotional advertisements which may sound familiar. This and all tracks featured as samples on this site are subject to the copyright notice at the top of the page.

True

A digital melting pot of urban influences designed to illustrate the unique musical signatures that develop when elements are brought together in an unorthodox musical fashion. Although this is an example of more current musical styles - mixing elements of Soul, Rock, House, Techno, Blues and Psychedelic - using acoustic, electronic, and ethnic instrumentation, is not the normal recipe for popular music on the whole. Listen with an open mind, and hear the many possibilities for film use. This type of eclectic "stew" can be applied in many ways, but will keep you listening closely because you don't know what will appear on the musical canvas next - enjoy! This composition and portions thereof, have been licensed for use in several media formats including movies, commercials and promotional advertisements which may sound familiar. This and all tracks featured as samples on this site are subject to the copyright notice at the top of the page.

King Walrus

A full fledged film score in the theme of King Crimson (thanks to Tony Levin for the inspiration), with a touch of Steve Lillywhite-esque production and some powerful over-tracked Guitar MIDI "Sorna" (Iranian Oboe). A blend of Western Progressive Rock and Westernized Middle Eastern Elements. Sets an intense yet austere mood with a middle section reminiscent of a pirate on the digital high seas of a futuristic voyage... This composition and portions thereof, have been licensed for use in several media formats including movies, commercials and promotional advertisements which may sound familiar. This and all tracks featured as samples on this site are subject to the copyright notice at the top of the page.

Chinatown Sundown

An excursion in Urban Musicology - Traditional Chinese instrumentation atop a bed of NY style studio production, along with Robert Fripp inspired guitar parts create a modern blend of old & new cultures. This composition and portions thereof, have been licensed for use in several media formats including movies, commercials and promotional advertisements which may sound familiar. This and all tracks featured as samples on this site are subject to the copyright notice at the top of the page.

Raga Metro

The Raga; a most important part of Indian music, modernized and modified contextually into the urban musical landscape of New York. The Hindi/Urdu word "rag" is derived from the Sanskrit "raga" which means "color or passion". This piece attempts to illustrate the musical "coloring" that the Indian-American musicians of NY have brought to the urban musical landscape. A mix of traditional and modern instrumentation, and a contemporary arrangement, bringing the ancient forward to the present in a form accessible to all. Written for film score use, perfect for work illustrating urban cross cultural themes.
