With pride and an abundance of humility allow me to announce the upcoming release of my SECRET LIFE on Coda Recordings, scheduled for a street date of early December 2009...giving you all plenty of time to put it on all those holiday shopping lists (ha!)

52 minutes of electro-acoustic music which you can see, read and hear about here:

Secret Life is a collection of my studio works from 2002 to 2009.

There are numerous technologies in play in this recording - those utilizing digital instruments, those using purely analog synthesizers and those which incorporate a mixture of both. Electrolux was composed entirely on digital machines for the sounding instruments yet incorporate heavy use of analog synthesizers as a controlling medium. The Ascent Into Light combines digital, sampling and analog instruments, while  The Secret Life of Semiconductors and  Je Suis Anonyme were realized solely on a Plan B modular analog synthesizer.

An additional ‘bonus’ track , Eclipse, written in 1976 at California Institute of the Arts on the Buchla 200 Electric Musicbox has 
been included as track 5 and begins 1 minute after the conclusion of The Secret Life of Semiconductors.
