LONGING FOR THE LIGHT - CD

My first CD was recorded in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, on Easter morning. The five songs popped out like eggs, which is appropriate for Easter morning – and hatched they did!! The CD arranges these five pieces exactly as they came out and with no special effects or trickery. I had long mused about recording and on this particular trip to Europe, decided to search out a studio. I was fortunate enough to find one with exactly the same piano as I enjoy at home – a Yamaha D3 – and a friendly and appreciative atmosphere. My music is hard to classify. Some simply call it beautiful, relaxing, soothing and/or emotional. Others say it reminds them of contemporary improvisational artists like Keith Jarrett or George Winston. Still others are captivated by the symphonic dynamics reminiscent of neo-classicists like Debussy, Grieg and Rachmaninoff. Regardless, it was music that needed to come out, and now, several years later, I still marvel at the sounds and texture and the moments of haunting beauty.

MONSTERS & BUTTERFLIES - CD

My 2nd CD. A darker, richer mix of music, more towards the neo-classical end of the spectrum. Some consider it a departure from the first music and others a continuation. It too is presented as it was hatched. Like the first, it was produced by Donald Hotchkiss and Annette Frank. It was influenced by a visit to England and Wales that concluded just prior to my recording date in Amsterdam.
