| I'm a "washashore" Cape Codder(Massachusetts)living
in a house house on a hill in the trees by the marsh. I am surrounded by the rolling dunes, forest
and wetlands visited by thousands every year.Surrounding this is the Bay on the west side and the
Atlantic ocean on the east side of this narrow land sung about by Patti Page I studied music at the University of Idaho at Moscow in the 1970's forming several bands both rock and jazz. After moving to Washington DC to listen to the musicians in the fabulous jazz scene, I moved to the Cape finding peace and a supportive environment for concentrated composing. My work progressed through jazz, pop and sound art into classical music based on these roots. I like Jennifer Higdon, Kitty Brazelton and Arvo Part; Thelonius Monk and Meridith Monk; Barbara Borden, Rick Sowash, Chopin and Erik Satie. Oh, and hundreds of other composers. |
