Sounds Like
Emphasis on maximal sonorities, and maximal extension of melodic lines and phrases through appropriate tempos and freely
conceived time expansion-creation-retention. "You are an incredibly original musician and pianist. Only in Ervin
Nyiregyhazi have I heard this kind of playing, and while you don't
have his demonic vehemence, you have an aural imagination second to
none...The sound you produce is fascinating at all levels of
dynamic...What is also fascinating is how you are able to maintain
control over such huge spans of time. This in itself justifies your
tempos. In the Chopin C Minor prelude, I don't believe anyone has
ever played the piece with such color and understanding of its
internal nature...The chords in the Brahms are stupendous...Clearly
you listen in a wonderfully creative way."
Gordon Rumson, pianist and composer

"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press

Every morning, every night, sometimes in the middle of the day... Escaping into dark, quiet corners to relieve myself Sometimes calmly, sometimes furiously... shamelessly Three times again today, is no surprise Laughing every time... seeing what I'd do to satisfy I want to take you up on all your offers... let you try Fulfill all the scintillating needs inside Heavenly wings and spitfire tongues taste like lullabies!
