Tres Cuartos del Camino al Amor Tres Cuartos del Camino al Amor
Conceived in a 3/4 time signature, the syncopation nonetheless makes it feel more like 4/4. The basic introductory piano motif is stylistically salsa, with Flamenco guitar, timbales and guero, maracas, bongos and congas, cowbell and various sundry pe
On Top Of a Cloud On Top Of a Cloud
My signature thematic statement, on lovely cumulus and preferably without shoes, it is without effort that this ethereally tranquil, atmospheric composition will summon the listener to imagine themselves On Top Of a Cloud...

Gypsies of Galatia Gypsies of Galatia
The compositional depiction of 'Gypsies of Galatia' reflects the cultural imagery of gypsies that I had witnessed while living in Ireland. Instrumentation includes medieval bagpipe to musically illustrate the nomadic nature of Galatian history.
Novus Ordo Seclorum Novus Ordo Seclorum
Subtitled The Orwellian Overture, the production was necessarily experimental in the course of three months and 56 tracks. Its mood seeks to reflect a serious interpretation of our post 9/11 world. Your papers please!
