Music
A trip down memory lane with images of hot summer nights in central coastal California. A 70's toss back.
A little jazzy, snazzy coolness for a ride on a windy Cali highway.
Kathy asked to add her vocals to make this exquisite enhancement to my instrumental.
A bit of Dryadic music. For the Celtic CBC 2013

Mainly remastered, I did this cover back in 2006. I embellished, adding fresh vocals and organ, then enhanced the sounds and mix with updated studio software. I've always loved this piece by Roger Waters. Permission copyright purchased.
A song to commemorate the joy of the sight and sound of rain when and where it is needed. Also the moods it evokes upon us. This time here in the Northwest US we get lots of it. There is much power and intrigue in the storms.
Formerly known as On the Road to Eternity. Reworked vocals. Multiple parts fit together for one theme. Six musical areas influenced by the author Kieth Roberts with the steampunk book Pavane
This is the vocal (last half) of the song Pavane. The original being 7:30 minutes long, I thought I would play the end cut.
A tribute to the beginnings of Experimental Electronic music movement stemming from Germany in the 1970's, with bands like Kraftwerk, Klaus Shulze, Asmus Tietchens and many others. Here is a 200 MPH electro/synth/beat whatever!
Song for Koto and Flute. The Junket skims silently through a dark sea, in the south China Seas. For the July 2012 CBC. Composed and imagined Oceanside off the Washington Coast on a nice summer night in July.
I reworked this song with Kathy Scorzo on vocals. Original by Rush. Permission acquired by Limelight copy-rite.
Influenced by some of the cool and weird French Prog I have listened to over the years. The picture is my cat Joe performing on TV for his buds. (created on an Iphone app by my son.)
Do we really want to get up in the Morning? Mike Bennett with his Beatleesque backer, including drums,bass,guitar, Farsi organ and who knows what in his mind. Me, vocals/lyrics acoustic guitar, lead guitar, and additional cheap organ sounds.
Kurt Vonnegut's hero, sad sack Kilgore Trout has had a tough time of it. Here is a tribute to the lack lorn Intrepid Space Wanderer.
A bit of Mellotronic and Optiganic fantasy that manifests as a lullaby for some Steampunk dreaming. The outbound Steamer Engine pushes along the tracks through the exotic landscapes of stark fields, lush forests and past dark cities. (see below)
In Alpha Centauri's solar system, there is a traveling Starship Circus that has the big show for the Cosmic minions. An arena of 4 guitars and a zoo of mellotron.
A tune about the simple joys of having shelter during stormy weather. A Celtic ballad.
On the Big Island in Hawaii, drinking Kona coffee and watching a sunrise is a special moment. A total spiritual experience. Trust me!!
