The Moon in The Trees

I am finally feeling the Halloween season and made this creepy little tune yesterday/today. I love the big build!

The Machines; They’re Coming Alive!

Today’s composition is part ‘Inception’ part ‘Stranger Things’ and part ‘Short Circuit’. Can you hear me blaring on the trumpet live at the end?

Thanks for listening!

Who died??

I finished composing this piece today. It reminds me of a heartbreaking scene from an Italian mobster movie. How about you?

..and now for something completely different!

Today I wanted to write something abstract and have a little fun. Weird!

Sights of Spring

I’m back! I took a few weeks off from blogging to compose the music for an Easter musical. I’m happy to say it’s finally finished and the debut is in a few short weeks. In the meantime, my daughter has been observing the amazing transformation of the butterfly this spring and that in turn inspired this simple piece of music. Enjoy!

…another sight from spring…

Thanks, as always, for listening!

Winter Wonderful Final

Here are the 5 variations on a theme I wrote last week. Of course the last one has to be grandiose, right??

As always, thanks for listening!

A walk on the wild side…

The first time through this chord progression I took the 3rd out and left those mysterious open 5ths. Spooky!

Here is me warming up before a private event at the Bass Hall in Fort Worth, TX.

Thanks for listening!

Blossom where you are planted…

Today I wanted to branch out and write something a bit different sounding; yet still powerful!

Here’s another flower inspired piece I did wrote over the summer.

Thanks for listening!

I’m back!

I am back from vacation/holiday and got back in the studio. I was a little rusty coming out of the gate but the solo violin really brought it together!
