Living on a disk Living on a disk
Featuring my new "orchestra" and "singer". Lola's the singer (she lives on a disk). The strings are software too - Garritan Personal Orchestra. NOTE: The string section has been redone thanks to the folks at the Garritan and SONAR forums.
Last Call Last Call
Not last call at the bar, this is the last call for your flight at the airport. All the usual suspects are here, including some sound clips from an airport, and a very interesting train ride....

This one contains samples of David Kolker for vocals. He's a great guitar player from NYC - check him out on http://www.davidkolker.com. Otherwise it's just me, some guitar, bass and a mean Hammond organ plugin for my computer!

Another Cuban track with Guille Garcia doing the vocals - see "Digame" for more info. This one is a little more up tempo.
Para Olvidar Para Olvidar
This is another one featuring Guille Garcia on vocals. "Para Olvidar" means "to forget about", and the song basically is about "To forget about the war, I wrote this song".

32 and a half 32 and a half
Once again I have no idea what category to put this in. It's a little bit mellower than some of the others though. See what you think....
Just a Collection Just a Collection
I'm calling this Jazz Fusion. It's kinda got rock guitar and saxophone,but these are not rock chords.The guitar sounds are from my POD - I like it a lot.

This is just a few ideas that came into my head after the collapse of the World Trade Centre towers. Click on "Lyrics/Story" for a description of the cello parts at the beginning...
