To listen to and purchase samples from HEIROGLYPHS, MUSIC FOR THE INSIDE EYE, RETROSPECT, VIRTUES OF THE IMPOSSIBLETHREE SONGSIN THE TUNNEL

       The newest, In The Tunnel, was recorded in the Boston subway (Red Line at Porter Square) February- March 2024, and also The Montreal Metro (Place Des Arts Concourse) April 2024 The idea was to create a quiet bubble of sound that folks rushing from here to there might (perhaps subconsciously) walk though and experience a bit of calm on their way. Occasionally people do stop and listen, but most just keep going (the best listeners are dogs and little kids). The music is stuff made up mostly on the spot, complete wih wind and train noises.

      Three Songs is some new stuff from the other side of the forest, so to speak, with a little ode to someone we're all presently trying to forget. Also includes some new film music. For more, click here

       Virtues of the Impossible, is a small group of quiet songs meant to be a bit contemplative in the face of strange and dangerous times, with five new short piano pieces at its center. Track descriptions are below. 

       Retrospect is a collection of older songs that have lain dormant for a few years and also some new stuff. "2014" was written on the eve of the puzzling darkness that seems to have befallen us at the moment.      

      Hieroglyphs, recorded over a period in the late '90's, is a collection of songs and minimalist ruminations, mostly on guitar and piano. 

      Music for the Inside Eye is a set of recordings, originally released in 1990, that wanders a rather personal landscape of political and emotional thoughts from the decade before.
