After several weeks without playing, I sat down one night at the piano and this simple melody immediately came out of my fingers. Composing sometimes feels like rediscovering a cherished old memory.

Here's the soon-to-be smash-hit all on its own. Rob and Steve enlisted the talents of a serious hip-hop producer to nineties-up samples from Alphaville's 1984 chart-tickler before unleashing the sick and also fat rhymes of the MC they're calling…

Also recorded when I was very, very sick...I needed to get RPM 2006 kicking into gear, regardless of the state of my voice.
This song was written and recorded on the spot. What you are hearing is what I made up as I went with the record button…

This is another version of the same tune used in Dana's Song. I just changed the lyrics. It was created back in 1999 with the help of Alontoner K.Scot.
This is my own way of looking at a beautiful text - Psalm 139.

This is part of a new body of work, centered more on guitar than synth, yet treating the guitar as I do the synth. This is still a work in progress, and I am open to input.
This is definitely an ambient piece, treating sound as a sculpture more…

I love it when words sound cool in songs. Not the meaning of the words, just the way they sound. When they go along really well with the rhythm. So I wrote this song with only one purpose: to make the words sounds cool. I didn't care what I was…

I wrote this song after my brother passed away a couple years ago. His girlfriend of 4 years asked me to write the music to a poem she wrote. This is what it turned out to be.

This original melody idea was jotted down in October 2003 in Harmony Assistant, and I had written it thinking that someday I'd make it a real song with lyrics. While playing the tune on the computer, my daughter came in and said she liked it…

This is an instrumental celebration of numbers such as 4 and 650. If you do not like 4 and 650 you can pretend it's about your favorite numbers instead, I won't mind so long as you don't go around pretending that I wrote this piece for 33 or 550.

The horn line came first, I started humming it in the garage one very cold morning in Feb. I was stuck for a title, until a friend used Kismet in a sentence. It's a fun bouncy number, though the mix is kind of bad.
