When I’m asked what this music is like… I really have no answer. 

“A distinctive collection of New Age, Folk, Jazz and Classical Guitar influences”..  makes a good sound bite. 

What influenced me the most when writing this music was Mussorgsky”s “Pictures at an Exhibition”. Each piece is an acoustic guitar ""story". I wrote these tunes to take you somewhere. I hope they do.

Once in the studio we tried out all kinds of ways to expand the sound of a acoustic guitar. An acoustic center surrounded by “crazy experiments”. It was all quite interesting....

	The Last Whale The Last Whale.. a sad song... an angry song . . how we can kill off a whole species makes me cringe . . if I were the last whale, I'd be want'in to kick butt.		Acoustic guitar instrumental
	Risky Business A little Ditty in Open G.		Acoustic guitar instrumental
	Diatribes A mixture of Eastern and Western scales, surrounded by a bunch of Studio experiments to enhance sustain and give the tune a "sitar kind of sound".		Acoustic guitar instrumental
