Here are a few short samples taken from within longer pieces. Fidelity has been lowered and they are in mono to ensure they stream on dialup connections. They often make more sense within a longer context, but I've selected them to show the range of tonalities and moods.

Some are played live, others are pieces dropped onto the computer using Acid Pro (now making way for Ableton Live) And Cool Edit to (re)arrange and (re)treat the various sounds. Acid/Ableton is the most wonderful software for the way I work; I can just drag things to where I want, add visual gradients for pan, fx level & so forth. VST plugins are a permenant source of inspiration. There are mp3 samples of each track from "one" on it's own page.
