my studio
This studio is an extension of skin, bone, muscle and impulse.
It's a co-mingling of a used book store, an old record store, a consignment shop, a pawn shop & an antiques store
- all blended together in a 3D cubist comic book -
for design, programming, art, music, & photography & performance.

I Really Didn't Mean It!
The Revellaires
When I wrote this a long time ago, I was trying to go for a Buck Owens meets the Rolling Stones, circa 1965 kind of thing....

A pretty waltz written in a moment of bleakness....I can't read or write a note of music but still composed & arranged the string quartet....

More music for motion....snakes slither for miles in the great southwest....I composed this, played everything but drums and cello.....

...hints of Salvador Dali and Man Ray, Edward Hopper...maybe some MC Escher too....listen closely to the soundscape....all the water, wind & bird sounds are radio signals....
The Grand Old Flag
Happy Fourth of July!....Please enjoy this clip on the proper care and nurturing of the US flag, in time-lapse...
Resolution #78 (Ephemera)
Have you read "Homer & Langley" by EL Doctorow?....This is a rumination on the ruination of modern popCulture, unPlanned and backwards...
Her Inner Self (Revealed)
Picture a person you utterly despise. That person is the subject of this piece. This is a "making of" -type video of a decoupage piece in my studio....

Washington Post
The first record of one of my first bands snagged a review in the Washington Post:
"Without owning up to any one style [this music is] an impressive string of songs, a mixture of come-ons, kiss-offs and sundry attitudes that are equipped with sharp melodic & rhythmic hooks and lyrics that have more than a little bite as well....all are intriguing slices of pop, well written and neatly arranged."
