Sounds Like
"Moods of the Common Man" is said to be a manipulation of time and space in sound a soundtrack for the psyche.
John's talent, versatility and experience composing, recording, editing and mixing music for the film/tv and music industry is clearly evident in "Moods of the Common Man" by being dramatically somber and meditative to wildly moving, energetic and exciting. With overlapping hypnotic rhythms and melodies, "Moods of the Common Man" guides you thru shape-shifting midtones assuring safe passage over the bottomless lows of the abyss as intricate highs decorate and light up the skies.
Put on your headphones, lay back and lose yourself so that you may be found, observe the observer till the observer can no longer be observed. "Moods of the Common Man" melts down the complicated facets of mundane understanding while freeing the spirit to soar through the many layers of masked illusion. Trip the trip and don't sweat the curves.
The illusionary Rolling Stores Magazine raves, "compositions like Beethoven with a bong". Newsweak proclaims "a Copelanesque Dark Side of the Moon". "Moods of the Common Man" is a collection of depth expanding musical journeys that'll blow your mind like psychic steam from an alchemist dream.

I was trained and have been performing music for....... mmmmm.... well for as far back as "I" can remember.... I composed my first songs/inst. pieces around the age of 10yrs. and couldn't/wouldn't stop....
I would define my music today as a mixture of free flowing Classical Ambient / meditation meets Aaron Copland. With a combination of various Southern Blusy Rock pieces shuffled in...... It's an interesting combination.. Not your typical ambient instrumental music style.... Variety!! Meditative and fun..

Just remember
Until you've seen this trash can dream come true,
You stand at the edge, while people run you through.
And I thank the Lord, there's people out there like you,
I thank the Lord there's people out there like you.
While Mona Lisas and mad hatters,
sons of bankers, sons of lawyers,
turn around and say, "good morning" to the night.
For unless they see the sky, but they can't and that is why,
they know not if it's dark out side or light.
This Broadway's got, its got a lot of songs to sing,
if I knew the tunes I might join in.
I go my way alone, grow my own,
my own seeds shall be sown, in New York city.
Subways no way , for a good man to go down,
Rich man can ride, and the hobo he can drown.
And I thank the Lord for the people I have found,
I thank the Lord for the people I have found.

just stopping by to say happy holidays 2008 (yeah, i know i'm early, but i'm slow i just put up some holiday songs, which is kind of ironic cause I hate holiday music, but hey, if that's your thing, come have a listen! and if you're really really into it, just order my RIse CD, and you'll get the holiday songs sent to you for free, yep, thass right, free, free, free, nada, nothing, no charge, free. Well, I guess not technically free cause you have to pay for the Rise CD, but other than that. . . free, yep! okay, time to lay off the red bull!
anyway, happy holidaze and all that~ LB ps. also, I'm on Facebook now and Youtube too (thought I would do a full service announcement now that I have your attention) so add me there too to get more senseless messages!!!
