Starlight Piano

Starlight Piano has songs that have subject matter of stars and the night and romance. It is positive and magical. It has jazz standards, pop songs and even some rock.

Twilight Piano

Contemporary romantic piano versions of popular songs where the subject matter and/or song titles and lyrics have to do with sunrises and sunsets and all of the color associated with them. Very uplifting and romantic.

Moonlight Piano

The songs on Moonlight Piano are perfect representations of the different styles throughout the history of classical music. If you were ever to purchase only one album that represents the greatest romantic classical piano pieces of all time, Moonlight Piano would be that one.

Wyred

Recently i was the keyboard player and band leader and singer of a band out of Central PA called Wyred. We were a female fronted six piece contemporary rock band (not heavy metal but close) and play a couple songs for each decade and style but probably mostly 80s rock. I also lead sing, play sax and harmonica.

Virtual Cathedral

Virtual Rick Wakeman meets virtual Neil Peart. A haunting tribute to the father of keyboards, Johann Sebastian Bach. Virtual Cathedral is an original arrangement of Bach's tocatta in Dm which is used by all of the haunted house's in the world. In the middle section I wanted something simlar to the Exorcist theme Tubular Bell's so I wrote my own original composition filled with scary strings and sound effects.

Virtual Unknown

Virtual Unknown is a version of an original song i wrote called Fanfare for the Unknown Soldier. Made in my studio with computer samples of real instruments AKA 'virtual' sampled sounds. Fanfare is one of my main intrumental songs from my yet to be released rock opera. This project is over 75% complete in my head but it is taking a life time to write down and record. It is supposed to be similar to a Quadrophenia type rock opera and the star is an unkown soldier who is brough back to life.

Studio set up

I currently use Cakewalk Sonar X3 and own all IKMultimedia's virtual synth and effects studio plugins (among others). I use a Cakewalk Pro500 as my DAW controller keyboard. I also use Synthogy Ivory pianos when i record my piano albums. I am finished recording my next album Christmas Piano and working on a second version of it with vocals to be released at the same time later this year.

Every now and then i record the songs that i am learning like this one from Bach called Praeludium III (Prelude 3 in C#) which i did with synthezier sounds rather than on piano. I made this video while recording Moonlight Piano which has this song on it.
