Music is everything to me....
everything else is secondary!
I realize this is where I’m supposed to talk about myself….but I’d rather talk about my music instead. Okay, a brief bio on moi. I started piano lessons at 8 years existence and- low and behold-excelled at it. And continued to excel right up to the point when I dropped a 30 pound metal dumbbell on my left-hand from six feet up.
After a year when I realized my left-hand digits were never going to be up to snuff any longer, I decided to transfer my musical psyche to composition. I have no formal training in composition and have gone the self-education route. But many a successful composer before me has ventured down this path so I’d thought I’d give it a shot.
Now about my music. First off, I believe in a strong melodic line. WOW! Sacrilege! I compose where melody cozies up to harmony, rhythm, and tonal timbre like buddies in a cult. Now a days, where one has to toil to ferret out the renegade of melody within any present form whether it be classical, film, jazz, or even rock &roll, I keep it up front and center to the chagrin to many I’m sure, but that’s my style. If that’s not your cup of whiskey, then depart in peace my friend.
I also plant my musical wherewithal firmly in the diatonic realm, mostly eschew atonality and other modern theoretical devices except as a coloring to a phrase, like an instrumental color but I don’t use it for the entire composition. That’s where my music is probably more unique. But enough talk, listening will reveal these salient points so move ahead to my music tabs and partake and hopefully enjoy!!
