My Music:

I have written and produced three CD’s so far, with a fourth on the way. I’m still exploring methods and ways to dive into more styles, and to diversify the style I currently work in. I don’t get a lot of time to write right now, but the inkling is always there. Here’s the breakdown of three CD’s that I have released, in chronological order:

INSPIRATION – first release – designed to tickle the world of music and see what style would work best. The closest style I would say this resembles was New World Fusion – quite the eclectic mix of sounds and styles – somewhat New Age (ish), definitely different. The question was, do I write music that I love to write and try to sell that – or – do I write music to the market? The answer depended on what I hoped to achieve, and I ended up thinking it best to write music that I love to write, but that would also do well.

REDEMPTION – second release – drilling down the style from what I had learned from the first release, and for the goal I set. In writing for this CD I concentrated on a style that’s somewhat like Vangelis meets Enigma on steroids. The problem is a lot of people haven’t heard of either Vangelis, nor Enigma. Clue – Vangelis wrote the soundtrack for the movies Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire. To cut a long story short, this music seems to do well in the European market, although it’s style that is still developing. I’m still working on how to better market this one!

ACQUIESCENCE – third release – spill over from Redemption – I wrote too many tracks for one album so decided on two, but thought that using the same CD cover design would be a good idea. Looking back this has caused a lot of confusion – people didn’t seem to look past the design, the words are different – note to self, don’t do that again. From the minute I sent them to CD Baby for release I’ve met with confusion – even though the name is completely different.
