It’s called In the Night, and is inspired by the feeling of mystery and freedom that can come from solitude in city streets late at night, when it’s obvious that nothing is what it seems.

There’s just something special about these, something that tickles my innards and makes me smile. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

This is yet another strange product of my intensive studies of late with my recording studio and especially with the intricacies of Logic Pro 9. This sketch is a celebration of springtime entitled Downward Bird. It features the lovely voice of Becca, time-shifted and manipulated but clear as a bell nonetheless. Fluttering, flapping bliss is in the air!

Time travel seems to be a common theme in my life lately.

This is the first time I’ve used my shiny new silver tenor sax in the studio. I improvised this over a couple of days. It reflects the state of mind I’ve been in more often than not lately.
