Hello and welcome to my listening room and store. There's a lot of music here, starting with a lot of my own music, recent cds as well as older material, and I'll add more to the 'Archive' as time goes on. Much of this music is available now for purchase right here on the site, and more will be added soon....
Click on any title to just listen to it, or click the 'add to cart' button to purchase - you'll be able to return to the listening room if you are not done.
And there's also a selection of tracks I've produced and/or recorded over the years for my clients, in rough stylistic catagories, with links to the artists' websites. Look for this towards the bottom of the page - marked 'More stuff to listen to'. This will also be a work in progress and more will added. Enjoy and return!
Any of my work can be licensed from me directly - contact me via the form on this website. All my music is published by ReadWrite Music (ASCAP)
For now, only the Monkfish and Simbia cds are available through itunes.
