Cinematic
Following up from the last set, Battery Life, which was mood musicky, here is a set that I think creates movie-like scenes, but without the film.
See what you think. (Hear what you see???)

Mother Tree Meditations
This series of four compositions was inspired by the excellent book by Suzanne Simard: Finding The Mother Tree (2021). She is a professor of forest ecology at UBC, and the book is both a memoir of her life and career.
Cosmic Blues
When the universe serves you up interstellar star dust, what do you do?
You get on with writing and composing, something like the: Cosmic Blues.
This little collection is a bit of each of the following:
- piano blues
- synthesized textures
Another step on my musical journey.

Three For George
My cousin George Boorman passed away suddenly on May 3rd, 2021. He was a special person, and I have a lifetime of fond memories of him. In this pandemic time, there couldn’t be an in-person memorial service, but there was a beautiful online one. When I heard of his passing, I had been composing piano pieces, and the last three were all done thinking of him. “One For George” was played at the memorial. There are two others in this group. It is my small tribute to a wonderful life, and a wonderful man, whose positivity, spirit of adventure, love of life, and generosity to everyone he met, will live on.
Here’s to you George!

Why not reflect the chaos all around you? That is what art is all about.
BTW, it’s a great time for creative art. So much chaos equals opportunity.
Grab it while you can!
And a little music to hum while you do it…..
