Music Style New Age, Classical

Musical Influences Chopin, Liz Story, Don Ellis, Willi Boskovsky, Keith Jarrett, and, I guess, every wonderful thing I have ever heard!

Similar Artists couldn't rightly say - let's see what the listeners think!

Artist History I have been fortunate enough to have attended classes taught by Walter Ehret, Martin Josman, William Hellerman, and George Flynn, and to have studied privately with Leonard Altman and Harold Triggs. I rarely practised, but I loved music, and still do. Music is a gift, and it can come so naturally sometimes. I played the piano as a child, and music, sounds, books, and pretty lights and forms were the world I inhabited, and grew up in. I've been listening to Debussy playing his own works recently (James Stewart label, piano roll recordings), and it's stunning! His virtuosity and deftness, and total unique-ness. They were all staggeringly great pianists: Saint-Saens, Mahler, Busoni, Gershwin.... It wasn't necessarly their technique, but the direct freshness with which they got expressive sounds out of the piano -- from their mind and heart, into the air. The induction of forms of the mind into time and process, and experience. I like Pat Metheny, and Louis Armstrong, and Rosemary Clooney, and one hundred and one million other wonderful musicians. I am always entranced.

Group Members I don't have a band -- I play a synthesizer, and produce my own stuff. Why, I'm lucky if I even get a rhythm track now and then! Seriously though, I record and edit my own works with a a Roland A-90EX & JV 2080, a Power Macintosh 6500/250, FreeStyle, Metro 4, and a Philips CD recorder.

Instruments Yamaha CLP-300 (earlier), Roland A-90EX (now)

Albums yes, I have composed and recorded quite a few
