Terror Adult Contemporary

About Me

About:
Bowed glockenspiel, violin, piano, voice. Elaborate stage shows. That's what I do.
Cray to the power of cray. Cake aliens and bunny rabbits. Playable paintings, too.
I score film.
I'm also a budding physicist. Theoretical high energy is the name of the game.
According to Stivan I sound like:
The energy released when Music and Anti-Music collide...!

CAUTION:
This music and these sounds are extremely dynamic in range of pitch and amplitude. Please only review this material through appropriate listening media (i.e. not your laptop speakers).
For your convenience and pleasure, each piece on the myspace page is now available for download. It is strongly recommended that you transfer the pieces onto CD and enjoy these sounds through the best stereo you have available(i.e. car stereo, home sound system, studio monitors).
Please feel free to contact me with any questions and/or comments.
Thank you,
The Management.
