Northern Lights Northern Lights
Northern Lights is an ambient/textural collaboration with my long-time friend Phil Ogison. There will be more of this style of work to come from the two of us...Northern lights photo courtesy Samuel Blanc
Time Machine Time Machine
Time Machine has been inspired by the book The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. This is the first of my Time Machine project and is meant to be a comprehensive overview of my musical interpretation of this famous science-fiction tale of time travel.
Garments of a Ghost Garments of a Ghost
This is the 2nd piece for my Time Machine project. Garments of a Ghost is meant to reflect the sense of utter loneliness that the Time Traveller must have felt upon his landing in the strange new world of the future...
Eloi Eloi
The Eloi are the joyous and child-like denizens of the future world. Eloi is meant to convey the wondrous jubilation in which these beings live. This piece also evokes a sense of melancholy for the dread in which they exist; the terror of the night..
Lament for the Dead Lament for the Dead
I composed Lament for the Dead to express the unremitting sorrow that the living feel "when we have shuffled off this mortal coil"...(quote courtesy W. Shakespeare)
Space Space
Space unending...past the "end" of our Solar System and on to infinity...(space photography courtesy JPL and NASA)
Snowflakes And the Other Side of the Wardrobe Snowflakes And the Other Side of the Wardrobe
The complete title for this piece is "Dance of the Snowflakes (reprise) And the Other Side of the Wardrobe"...I suppose even fictional characters must come back to the "real world" at some point...
Cair Paravel Cair Paravel
In the land of Narnia renewed, the power of the realm is held at Cair Paravel...
The "Tin Can" Recordings The "Tin Can" Recordings
Back in the fall of 1980, Phil Ogison and I composed and recorded (on an antiquated portable cassette player - thus the title) our take on The Great Divorce by C.S.Lewis. I consider this recording very primitive, but one must begin somewhere...
Deep Magic Will Be Broken Deep Magic Will Be Broken
Deep Magic from before the dawn of time will be broken by Aslan through his sacrifice... I composed and arranged this piece upon a melody inspired by a friend...
Ballerinas (solo piano) Ballerinas (solo piano)
Ballerinas have an incomparable grace of movement... (Art masterpiece courtesy Edgar Degas)
Image of God Image of God
Image of God...there are just too many impressions and interpretations for me to comprehend this matter...
Spring Spring
Spring...so refreshing and blissful in it's release from the stronghold of winter...
Pluto i,ii,iii Pluto i,ii,iii
Pluto...out there in the furthest reaches of our Solar System...so alone...and apparently no longer considered a "planet"! Yet, in the classical sense (and in my mind), Pluto remains the 9th planet. (planets photography courtesy JPL and NASA)
Unicorn Dreams (solo piano) Unicorn Dreams (solo piano)
Unicorn Dreams... Co-written with Phil Ogison in 1980, re-arranged by myself as a solo piano piece in the "noughts"... re-recorded in 2008! (Cover design Catherine Tammaro)
