Just Me...with the help of a couple of German Shepherds.
Influences
Victor Borge, Tom Waits, Leon Russell, Dr. John, David Bowe, Miles Davis, Beethoven, and that episode of "What's Happening" when the Doobie Brothers showed up inexplicably.
Sounds Like
Geez, um...Alan Silvestri, Danny Elfman, Alf Clausen, and that guy who did the score for "Psycho," um, Bernard Herrmann; yeah, that's him.
I started composing music at a young age, mostly as a way to scare the hell out of my parents and "freak out the squares." Eventually, I received good old-fashioned classical piano training, while immersing myself in all sorts of popular (and extremely UN-popular) music.
I recently contributed original music for Iron Chef America - Supreme Cuisine for the Nintendo Wii, and I'm currently working on other film and game projects. Honestly, if you would have told me years ago that I'd be doing this kind of thing, I would have thought you were crazy; which isn't fair, since I don't really know you.
Anyway, If you'd like me to help you with your project, let me know; I'll make coffee...delicious coffee. You can check out my samples here or at
