Hello!
I started for the love of music at age 7 when my mother would play the Warsaw Piano Concerto and also Clair de Lune. I was amazed even back then of the sounds it produced and the gorgeous melody.
I started taking lessons at age 8 and then all the way through High School. I never had training in orchestral works, but as I got older, I found myself being requested to play for weddings and church services. I started playing the Church organ for Sunday Mass in the 8th Grade. Eventually I was turned onto Christian music and how the piano was used with orchestral accomp. I looked and looked for accomp tapes and music books. They were there, but rare. So I wished I always could just write my own scores. That way, I could play whatever I wanted and have a true orchestra behind me. I found Kork Sequencers, MIDI Keyboards, and the world of electronics. Then I found the awesome power of computers and now how sampled software now works with them. I used East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra's, Symphonic Choirs. I have more orchestral sounds from Standard Solos, duets, trios, quartets to full Symphonic masterpieces han can be scored. Back in 1981 I was asked to perform piano accompinament for Elizabeth Ward, Miss America. WOW what an expierience.
I live and Harrisburg, PA and would love to hear from you and your experiences.

Thank you my friend for your kind words...you've got some great sounding work,WOW!Love Lifes Adventures and Gameday 2008.
Last time I wrote something was back in August of last year,no time to go in the studio.Seems we have pretty much the same setup,same desk,same LCD monitors and even same software.Most of the songs were done on the Triton Extreme,JV 1080 and Motif ES6 with lots of Spectrasonics Atmospheres and RMX.
Thanks for the invite

P.S. I upload my new track "Bad Rays Of Sunshine".
Thanks for the nice words! As to gear, since I basically usually work with live players, my gear consists of an iMac and Finale 2008 notation program.
( However, before I retired, I had to learn how to use all the sampling and sequencing stuff as a survival mechanism. I never reallyfelt comfortable with it since I spent most of my working life in the era of live players. )
This doesn't mean I hate electronic music though ..I often combined electronic and life players on many projects.
