Artist description I tell stories with electronic music. Some of my pieces have been described as Epics, others are of more modest proportions, some are autobiographical. To be more exact I compose classically oriented Electronic music that is a celebration of the richness of the human experience. Some of it is very beautiful, but it isn't ear candy, it is music with meat on the bone. My music is a banquet with everything from corn dogs to caviar.

Artist History I've been composing music with the assistance of computers since about 1981 (yup pre MIDI). I have not pursued public performances because of the difficulties entailed in such a performance.

The central themes are equally diverse, deriving from Baroque,Romantic, and Modernist styles." Listen.com

Additional Info There's some very clean (and deep) bass in my music. You'll miss it completely on computer speakers.
