Trust Your Heart
I was moved by a movie by Hal Hartley called Trust. Especially moving was the film's soundtrack which added greatly to the overall effect of the film. Thanks to the magic of the internet, I was able to get a copy of the soundtrack CD. I found out that Hal (not a professional musician) did some of the music himself. This moved me to do a song that might have fit in with the soundtrack music. Due to its origin, I call this tune "Trust Your Heart".
Where Else?
Where else have you heard something like this one before? I'm curious if you hear what I hear. Let me know your thoughts by e-mail to me.
Let's Have Fun
This is my first song with vocals. I purchased "Spiritual Voices" -- a license set of chants and vocals that I am licensed to include in my music. I composed all the music surrounding the vocals as well as modified many of the vocal patterns with my digital equipment. I thought the best place to start was to work with children's' voices and, since I was having so much of it, I thought it appropriate to be called "Let's Have Fun". I hope you have fun with it, too. It's a bit offbeat -- just like me.
The Elf Man
I was inspired to write this song after watching "Ed Wood" -- the movie about the director of "Plan 9 From Outer Space". The soundtrack was composed by Danny Elfman who has done lots of great movie work ("Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Mars Attacks"). The classic horror movie theme from "Halloween" (John Carpenter) is also an inspiration for this one.
Friends
An upbeat, yet mellow, new-age tune. Dedicated to all my friends. Thanks for listening.

Lake Eerie Dance
Here's a techno/pop/dance number. It start's out a bit eerie and then (I hope) you feel like dancing. I don't know where I got the "lake" part -- I just though it fit.
