Music

Over the course of the last twenty years, I have been involved in the recording of more than a dozen CDs, in group, duet, and solo configurations. Many of these discs are now rarities or out of print, and represent a wide curve of technological styles and limitations.

The larger part of the catalog is decidedly Ambient and Electronic in nature, with some notable exceptions. These include work done with The League of Crafty Guitarists and BrotherSync.

The Bindlestiff discs cover almost a decade of my collaboration with Dave Stafford. To read "The Absense of Unwanted Sound", a treatise on Ambient Music, click here. To date, I have not made public any of my personal observations and remembrances of these recordings. In reviewing these recordings from my "vault", I hope to recount for my own sake and any other interested party the details both personal and technical that I recall. 

At The Helm is the new Podcast series about my life in sound,  produced by Glenn Stebleton in conjunction with his podcast series about independent music in Colorado. Click here to hear!

Other current projects include industrial sound tracks and independent film scores. Previous scores include the music for "My Elbows Collapsed", a film for Scottish Television by Andrew Printer. Soundtracks for two pioneering computer animation works from Cranston-Csuri Labs include "The Blue Chair", and "Images", which was featured in the 1986 Venice BiAnnele. This was the first year computer animation was shown at the festival.
Soundtracks have also been created for "The Minds Eye" computer animation video showcase produced by Odyssey Visual Designs. Along with Mark Hardgrave and Bret Moreland I have created soundtracks including one for video clients such as Junior Achievement.

Another soundtrack accompanies the PowerPoint slideshow presentation created by Sarajane Helm to showcase a polymer clay installation featuring a scale model quilt and fabric shoppe .There's a free download of the show at lulu.com  

Below are thumbnails of the covers of the CDs in which my work is present. Each will link to a page that has more detailed information about that recording. Please check back during the construction of these pages, and thanks for visiting.
