Starting work on a new CD. The centerpiece is my composition "Between the Kiss and the Chaos", an electric violin concerto ion 5 movements that I premiered with the Wichita Symphony this last January. Each movement is based on an iconic work of art and is an impression of how that work resonates with me personally. I am hoping to finish it this summer and have it available by the fall.

The new CD is finally here. All those who preordered through this site should already have their copy. If you haven't received it, please let me know. The original album artwork was done by Brad Talbott.

The recording of the new Eclectica CD was a true product of improvisation.  We recorded 2 jam sessions and from those sessions culled the best ideas and organized them into songs. Then, in one afternoon at Oceanway Studio in Nashville, we recorded the basic tracks of 6 tunes. Next those takes (about 3 for each song) were edited and then lyrics written and vocals recorded.

Let me know what you think. email/myspace/facebook me.
