Buy one song for 99-cents, or the full CD for $9.99.
I started playing keyboards when I was six and a guitar at 11.
One of my strongest childhood memories was being terrified by Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds.
My elder brother told me I probably wouldn't like it as it was "just music" so naturally I listened to it to spite him
and it scared the hell out of me!
It also made me realize that music could be more than songs, it could tell a story.
It could also terrify a person!
In our teens my brother and I would play and write music together, recording on a 4-track.
Since then I have been writing and recording on my own, producing "SOl" and "Cycles" before being inspired by the
Stephen King series The Dark Tower, which I have now been working on for a decade
Like Jeff Wayne, I hope to tell this epic story through music (albeit without narration).
Enjoy these 30-second sound clip examples.
