i live in arkansas and have a wonderful wife named courtney and a totally amazing daughter named maddie who is four. i have played bass my whole life and played in most all musical situations. i got a bit burned out on playing every night and started composing on the piano a few years ago and have recently gotten more serious with composing. i am taking composition lessons with the wonderful charles booker who is somewhat of a rhythmic guru. i love to spend time with my family, listen to music, talk about music, build fires with my wife. most of my free time is spent with family and playing piano.

- Favorite Lyric:
"There is no where you can be that isn't where you are meant to be."-The Beatles

The song "Silence is the Question" by the bad plus has no words but after i listened it to it for the second time i wanted to be a better person. no lyric has ever made me feel that way.

Hey What Up . Just Wondering If You Could Take A Listen To My Stuff And Tell Me What You Think . Good Or Bad Any Comment Is Welcome Thanks For Your Time . Peace
I like your work, and I love to see people who love what they do. You're VERY creative with your synthesizers, especially on songs like "Halloween Alaska" and "if any of us..."
You should put "redgreen" on your profile, too, from your myspace. I thought that was one of your stronger pieces. Soundscapes are great (and you do them well) but do you have any chances to record something with a strong beat, or feature the bass more?
