Hello and welcome to my artist page. I am a beginning composer with great ambition and love for music. I have been musically inclined since I was a child and I currently play drums, keyboard, guitar and bass. My fundamental knowledge of music stems from early on as a child, I became very active in school choirs, and playing in high school concert bands. I was awarded outstanding soloist my last four years of high school for choir/vocal arrangments that were performed nationally in state compitetion. After high school, I went to college and graduated with a major in theater. During this time, I actively continued to compose various arrangments, some small, some for full orchestra. My love and passion for music has grown over the years and I find it still soothes "the savage beast" within myself.

Story behind the song
I had been contemplating writing a western type score for over 5 years but never really found the time until almost a year ago. I was inspired by watching a documentary of the "Wild West". It was filled with panoramic vista's that were breathtaking. I decided to undertake the idea and write my own western style score. What I cam up with is a mix of calmness of the prarrie at dusk, the dawn as it rises on the orange mountains and green plains; and finally, the west wouldn't be complete without horses and cowboys who ride like the wind across the plains, mixing the theme with a spanish/mexican flair. This is the first movement in a series I plan to write.
