My music!. It is free to download or stream if You like. Freely it was given to Me, so please freely recieve. If it makes You feel great and You want to keep that feeling…..,give it away. That's the only way I have figured out how to keep anything real.
What do I play? I specialize in Indigenous intruments from all over the World. Most notably Flutes. I really Love Native American Flutes for their pithy, hollow, almost Human quality. I also play Peruvian Quenas or Quenachos. It is a bamboo reed Flute that seems to be South America's answer to the Japanese Shakuhachi which I also play. Although I find the Soulfulness of the Shakuhachi, when in the hands of a Master, has no equal. I have also been caught performing with a Feadog (Irish Pennywhistle) and Ocarinas (South America, Africa). I am also quite fond of playing My Didgeridoos as well as a variety of Hand Drums. Occasionally I do Throat Singing ala Tibetan Monk style. You back all this up with ambient Keyboard textures, some Acoustic Guitar and the occasional digital big beats, and You have a veritable audio tour de force. All of the music is Composed, Recorded, Mixed and Performed by Me. For any of You home recordists out there, some of these songs are over a hundred tracks deep! I use Sonic Foundry Sequencers and Editing tools. I have plug-ins beyond count, and for digital beat sampling, I like to use Rebirth and Reason. As far as any additional percussive sounds You might hear, I have a loose guideline that anything lying around the house can be an impromptu instrument.
The “Style” of My music, if One must stuff it in a box, is Worldbeat/New Age. Blend Enigma with Ganga Giri with Waterbone with R. Carlos Nakai and pepper lightly with Peter Gabriel and Enya and I think You get the Soundscape I am painting!
The inspiration for the bulk of My composition is My dearly missed previous Home in the Desert Southwest. However, were I still living there, I might not have composed this body of work, for it seems that It's percieved very absence is indeed My catalyst for creativity. I try to bring My heart-embedded Home back to Me with alluring melody.

We the Unwilling,
Led by the Unqualified,
Have been doing so much,
With so little,
For so long,
We now attempt the Impossible
With Nothing…
