  • "Simple Life" – new composition

    Last night I wrote a very simple song, and made a pretty silly and quick recording of it using various synthesized sounds. A warning: this is not my best work, but I thought I’d share it anyways in case anyone might like it. It’s better to think of this recording as a rough sketch of…

  • New live recording

    Last Tuesday I played a gig on piano with Mark White (bass) and Greg Murray (drums). I’ve posted the entire show on my web site. It was at the Happy Honda dealership in Burnaby for the unveiling of their 2008 models. My favorite tunes from this batch are “Day in the Life of a Fool“,…

  • pathetic fallacy and Linkin Park

  • Original Song: New Endings Old Beginnings

    “New Endings Old Beginnings” is a tune I wrote while jamming with the amazing drummer Colin Defreitas a few weeks ago. I perform it here, for its “world recording premiere”, as a solo piano rendition on a late 1950’s Steinway. It has an extended improvised intro and then a main melody that starts about half…
