Melodic textural jazz compositions performed by some of the Canada’s finest musicians.

• SCENIC JAZZ

I love scoring the spoken word. Here are a few examples of recent work. The pieces accompanying the Mandlsohn poems were created using hexachords.

• MUSIC and POETRY

I’ve scored well over 1000 projects. Here are some of my favourites from the past.

I am the keyboardist, music director, and principle composer for the seminal world jazz fusion ensemble MANTECA. Here is a collection of some of our recent work.

Call it new-age or ambient music if you wish. Deep, colourful, sensual music – sometimes dark, often bittersweet and always melodic.

• SONIC JOURNEYS

What happens when you abandon all of the familiar reference points of functional harmony? When you have no key signatures, no familiar chords built in thirds, no movement through the cycle of fifths? My work with hexachords explores an alternate harmonic landscape – somewhere between tonality and atonality.
