Note: At times there is a glitch on this website that has the music player saying this artist has not uploaded any songs. If this happens visit the albums section to hear my music.

I was born 5 September 1961 in Flint Michigan United States. I am now living on a farm in central Alberta, Canada where my wife and I are committed to Permaculture, Sustainable Living, and Rare Breed, Heritage Breed, and Exotic Livestock as a means of easing some of the impact we "Humans" have made on our home Planet Earth. Musically I am trying to create a larger picture than say a body of work that is based on specific pieces. I have extended my compostion palatte to include such things as project names, pieces titles, production values and the seemingly appearent lack of them in some cases. All of these things work together to tell a larger story and to have a larger effect on the listener that will hopefully transfer into new realities in both the material and spiritual worlds.

At times I will rework a piece several times creating several variations from it using different effects, instrumentations, timings, scales and temprements. At times even naming the piece two or 3 different names or mispelling the name of the same piece and putting it out under those different mispellings. Although it is the same piece.

Some of my work includes inaubible Binaural Beats embedded within the music as well inaudible tones which have an effect on the subconcious mind. The main goal of my work is to help people break free of the reality that has been created for them or that they have helped to create that may be a little constricting. I believe that Music and Art can be a means of changing reality into a more beneficial existance.

My concern is not to produce pieces that fall into a shiney little tune you can listen to whilst driving to the beach or a piece to listen to an orchestra belt out at the symphony. The pieces are meant as transitional doorways to be experienced in more intimate settings, as interactive tools for cleansing the doors of preception if you will.

The pieces are at times scary, at times humorous, at times loving. I guess I have taken on the role of a trickster to help you realize things within yourself and the music I create is only a catalyst for that purpose. Warning:

Some pieces are not suitable for listening by persons with Epilepsy or Severe Nervous Disorders. Also, before listening with headphones I would strongly advise a pre-listen to make sure it's not one of the pieces I play with the volume. ;)

Note: The songs I put up here from my Cats Beyond Suspicion project (such as It's Koolaid) are pieces I created for a bit of silliness and laughter. Afterall the world could use more laughter.

When listening to most of my work please use normal stereo speakers (Not Headphones) and set the volume at a comfortable level. The volume of the pieces will change. This is intentional. It's a part of the composition. I do not normalize all of my tracks to be at the same volume for creative reasons. In the world around us not all of the sounds are at the same volume.
