Composer,
keyboardist and producer who has put several albums into the top ten on the
Adult Alternative, New Adult Contemporary, and Progressive Adult
Contemporary charts. These
include Abacus Moon, Elevations, Mysterium, Shell Game, and Vanishing Point. In
2000, he released an album of solo piano music, entitled Hero’s
Welcome.
Armed with his
trusty Macintosh, grand piano, and synthesizers, he writes music that incorporates
a wide variety of musical experiences, such as classical, psychedelia, and rock. His compositions comprise
“Abacus Moon”, “Arabesque”, “Blue
Dancer”, “Sea
of Storms”,
“Southern Lights”, and “When Statues Dance”.
Out-with his
solo efforts, he played keyboards on Camel’s Dust and Dreams, was a member of Stevan
Pasero’s New Chamber Ensemble, and appeared
on the compilation, Cruisers 1.0.
