Music for Driving and Film, vol. II is my most recent melodic instrumental work – a cycle of soundtracks that transports the listener to a very familiar place. You’ve been here before. Roaring down a stretch of highway, shifting gears, going from full throttle to a downhill coast, taking in saturated colors, blurring lines, slowing [...]
The recent Sonic Demons Pt I group improvisation set at the Ivy Room was to be a showcase of one of my works which, although based on improvised performances, is an intentional and sculpted work. The ensuing result was still good, due to the talents of the fine improvisers on the gig (Wayne Grim, John [...]

The Horse did a lot of wandering about Boise and had a lot of fun just [...]
