Track 1:
Element
of Risk
It begins and ends in
"comfort zones," but the activity in-between can be exciting, unsettling and
exhilarating. Virtually everything we do contains an Element of Risk. From
the moment we groggily step out of bed, we confront uncertainties in our
physical environment, from the weather we encounter, people on different
emotional channels, traffic, employment challenges, physical dangers, and
any number of unexpected occurrences. You don't have to be a thrill-seeker
to be threatened by life-altering choices. Everyone loves their comfort
zone. But, even after settling in at home, it’s usually necessary to leave
again for parts unknown. It can be challenging, frightening, unsettling and
confusing. But, returning safely is always the end game.
Each piece of instrumental music tells a story
without words. More than melodies and refrains, classical and new classical
music takes you on a journey of unexpected turns and experiences. Sometimes
exhausting, but always fulfilling.

Track 2:
Evolve
(for orchestra and electronics)
Lots of things Evolve:
history, landscapes, relationships,
...your
entire life! Even the size, shape and character of the the universe
is constantly changing. It's all a work in progress, with Mother
Nature leaving nothing stationary. The music itself
Evolves
from chaos to beauty.
This
video explains it all!!
Track 3:
Adagio Rubato
For chamber orchestra
PLUS string quartet. (You can also just breakout 1st chair players.)
Designed to maximize the acoustic stereo effects of any venue by
separating the quartet and other players from the larger ensemble,
to highlight the call-and-answer passages. A simple and enchanting
melody, Adagio Rubato also offers a modern sound with a
synthesizer part that brings the room alive with higher highs, and
lower lows.
Track 4:
Rain
(for orchestra and electronics)
Rain
follows the full natural cycle from
ocean evaporation, to clouds, lightning & thunder, droplets,
waterfalls , streams and delta flows. Water is a chameleon that
takes on many shapes and forms. This music chronicles the amazing
transformations and drama.

Track 5:
Slightly Distracted
A solo
piano piece, for multi-tasking younger people with relatively short
attention spans. Nothing boring here. After an initial search for direction,
and a few tangent paths, focus returns to the task at hand, and much has
been accomplished in a short time.
