Welcome

Instrumental music is a truly universal and magical language. It can tell a story, change a mood, stimulate the intellect and create pictures in the mind. And all without a single word being uttered.

Felix Mendelssohn probably said it best....

“People usually complain that (instrumental) music is so ambiguous, while words are understood by everyone. But for me it is exactly the opposite...what the music I love expresses to me are thoughts not too indefinite for words, but rather too definite.”

And from Carlos Santana....

“I realised a long time ago that instrumental music speaks a lot more clearly than English, Spanish, Yiddish, Swahili, any other language. Pure melody goes outside time.”

My singular passion is to compose and produce modern hybrid chamber music, a genre crafted for a mixed acoustic and electronic ensemble from classical, jazz and electronica influences.

This web site is my "living album", and here you'll find a mixture of my own music and some arrangements I've produced of classic, well known instrumental pieces. I sincerely hope it brings pleasure to your life.

Bobblehead 

My new track Bobblehead is now released here and will be available for sale at CD Baby, Amazon, Google and iTunes in coming days. This track has a deliberate retro funk blues edge to it (and features my beautiful new Fender Nashville Telecaster guitar!). It has been described as "the hideous love child of Eric Clapton and Quincy Jones" :-), I hope you enjoy it, and thanks as always for your continued support and kind words. RCS
