About

This is a website for album downloads. Here you can find my stuff and the recent DWL Quintet recordings. Someday I will have a website with a streamlined design for album downloads. As we approach the shifting of analog broadcasting airwaves to digital tv, radio, and now mass wireless internet, I will present a website that is all about simplicity of design and presenting media in bulk, making self printing very easy. Not only will my music be up there, but many others.

So DWL is over 2 years of collaborative efforts hinged on myself and a 28 enlistees in this army of players. Many ad hoc players, but over the years, many core members. They would be, in order of appearance, Anthony Thomas Schatz, Zecki Bengry, Shane Ronet, Pete Bryant, J.P. Jenkins. Lately, Ryan Stuewe and Jerry Soga have been returning.

The double virtual disc set that I offer here, entitled EATv, is the result of a 7 month Quintet with Jenkins, Bryant, Ronet, and Schatz, and recording in live single takes at my studio on the farm and KBOO studios.

I am a free agent pianist/keyboardist (analog synthesizers) performing all over Portland solo and ad hoc improvisations. I'm a composer, debuting my first performed sheet music on December 11th at the Artistery for saxophone quartet. I am an audio engineer/recordist/editor/trainer/DJ/programmer at KBOO 90.7 fm, Portland. (https://kboo.fm/user/1007) You can play on my program which is for live experimental music and theater, 1st and 4th Mondays at 10pm.

There is so very much more that I do, just keep in touch.

Take care.
