About Me

Although not by any means a skilled musician, my desire is capturing the essence of an experience in whatever artform created, especially when in deep prayer, meditation, or fasting. In this case it is music.

Keep in mind - the objective is not to make a superb piece in the technical sense. It is merely to share an experience in ways words cannot express. If one can (in any way) inspire you in a positive sense, it served its purpose.

I have a LaunchCast Radio Station you can listen to. It can give you an idea of the type of music I enjoy listening to. Fairly consistant genres of music. It's called:

- Electrance: A Balance of Electronic Sound -

This station captures the spiritual essence of electronic sound, particularly found with rythmic, depthful tones performed by neo-classical artists. It's goal is to achieve a solid balance - between the common, natural-sounding New Age piece, and the beatful, hard-pounding Electronica style. Music is based on composers of Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Kitaro, and Jean-Michel Jarre. Focuses on music from early 1970's to early 1990's.

Meditations is still my Favorite Project

Meditations was a very personal project for me. It was created during a time when things weren't looking up that well for me, and I was, possibly, at my lowest point. This project really helped me exp...

He will Provide the Oil for our Light

In the past, I used to see the Feast of Lights as more of a silly attempt for Christians to get away with practicing the Pagan Christmas. Having your cake and eating it too. Though, there are things I...
