影響
The Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Impressionist masters. Spanish classical and tango music. Most of the early blues and jazz artists, and running up the decades, most of the classical rockers, 70s folk and funk artists, 80s 'new wave', late 80s and early 90s old school hip hop and breakdance music. Many current artists and local favorites. Anything that floats my boat. Kevin Gilbert, R.I.P., your music is most special.
A clip from Untravel Media's documentary walking tour entitled The Greatest Neighborhood This Side of Heaven featuring "September Tango", performed by Ginger Ibex (Sharon Crumrine and Betty Widerski.) The full tour also features "Pericopine", also performed by Ginger Ibex.

I started playing piano at age 6 and pretty much have played ever since. Sometmes a few months or years would go by when I didn't touch a piano, but those times always pained me and gnawed at my soul. Early on I was affected by the drama and dark beauty of Beethoven, the incredible sweetness and also sometimes light, sometimes very dark sounds of Chopin, Schubert, Debussy, Bach and many others, including some contemporary artists. I only started composing later in life, and since I started, my has been turned inside out. In a beautiful way, that is. My thought about composing is that I don't often feel as if I'm actually "creating" music. Rather I feel I'm finding some beautiful sounds that already exist and I'm just capturing them and organizing them the way I want them to be.
