About Me

I used to call it Musique ConcrÃ¨te, but almost no one in the USA knew what I was talking about. So now I just call it Sound Collage. I dig long tones and as I grew tired of knobs and wires, I picked up the didgeridu. More fun to jam with than a computer. Telling stories is one of my major interests, sometimes I use words.
My new album of stories from Ovid set to music is now available from CD Baby
