These tunes all fall into the "classical electronic" genre. More recent works will be added as I digitize and convert them to .mp3. Please come back for more.

8 Turntables (1996): This song collage cuts from 15 albums of indigenous music. Rich, delicious and seamless. play mp3
Broken Heart (1987) Spoken phrases and fragments of phrases mesh to create a mesmirizing story. play mp3
First Mirage (1985) : Very slow crescendo to intensity disolves into it's parts. A brand new Ensoniq Mirage was in the studio...oh yeah! A full eight bits of sampling power! I recorded my hand dragging over a balloon, my voice, and some drum machine stacatto. Then added a thin touch of DX7 sonorities. play mp3
NeuroActivity (1989): The first sound you hear is tweaked and becomes the second sound. Each succeeding sound evolves from the one preceeding it. Eventually everything is reversed and you arrive back at the original. play mp3
Regeneration (1989): This is what I call a Mixer piece. 24 tracks of material were recorded and then mixed down. The materials include electronically manipulated sounds, voice, saxophone, piano, and internal piano. play mp3
SCRILL (1990): Intense and rich noiseScape exploring the low and high end frequency spectrum using the rare, hybrid Touche synthesizer. play mp3
SPLIFFID (1986): A musique concrete piece, collaging three sounds from a bicycle. Turn out the lights and crank it up. That's what I did when creating this piece. I recorded three sounds from a bicycle then manipulated those three sounds until I had a library of sounds all related to the first three. I listened the sounds and arranged them on a four track for a final mix. play mp3
THROWDOWN (1986): Fast moving percussion patterns drive this tune. A pal had just built a song for percussion. Taking the output from the drum machine I channelled each instrument to a different Synth/sampler. play mp3
