All music in this section was composed, arranged and produced by me. I composed the music for the documentary "Daring Woman Doctors (Physicians In The 19th Century)" which was distributed through PBS. The full documentary can be viewed at pbs.org
I submitted this score to Spitfire audio in the UK. I used their Labs Choir library and two of Logic's Alchemy sequencing patterns.
This original composition/soundscape is my tribute to one of our country's greatest technical achievements. The edited video is a combination of animation and actual footage. I played the trumpet solo as well as all keyboards into Logic Pro X.
This original piece is based around electric guitar loops from Logic Pro X. I played all of the horn parts and recorded all other parts with virtual sound libraries. I created the video portion using multiple drone videos from around the world.
I copied these video clips into iMovie, edited them and added my original composition.

I wrote this music in 1986 as filler for a Persian record I was arranging and engineering in LA. I decided to revisit it, added the middle section and replayed the parts using digital virtual
sound libraries. The accompanying story has been circulating on social media for some time
but I thought it was a good vehicle to showcase the composition. It's called "Let Me Cry"
I put together this pictorial of my parents after their passing. The two pieces of music are my original compositions and were produced in my studio.
I wrote the Flugelhorn melody around some of the chords used in an old Pat Metheny tune. I created the video to commemorate my 25th wedding anniversary with my wife Cindy. All parts are performed and produced by me.
I composed this piece based on different rhythm guitar parts and sequenced bass patterns. I wrote and played the horn part that builds by adding octaves each time around.
This piece is based on a piano ostinato. The trumpet I played live and used the Arturia and Garritan sound libraries for the other instruments. The visual is a time lapse video of a sun rise to sunset.
I composed this music around some Logic guitar loops. The synth parts are played using Arturia sounds. The Flugelhorn solo I played live. The guitar solo I played through Guitar Rig 5. All video content is courtesy of Pexels.
A blues progression in 7/8. Recorded into Logic Pro using virtual sound libraries except for the horns which I played live. The video is from various studio and live performances I edited together.
This short video is of my Florida studio. The music is a remix I did for Produce Like A Pro. I added synth parts and played the trumpet solo.
My arrangement and orchestration of a solo piano piece that was composed by my cousin Tony Mitchell. I was sent a midi file of the piano part from which I extracted the melody and replayed it with different sections of the orchestra. I wrote the eight bar intro and other parts based on the original chord progression and voicing. This was created using Logic Pro X and various virtual sound libraries. I assembled the video using multiple free video clips from the Pexels Video website.
I wanted to compose a funk tune and ended up with what you’re about to hear. In keeping up with my practice of editing together visual content to accompany my music I decided to do something with a slightly harder edge than my usual soft fluffy images. I thought a short visual expose on some of our more dubious Congressional Representatives would work. The horns are a combination of virtual sound libraries and me playing live.
Those of us involved in our high school and college music programs in the early and mid 1970’s were into “Prog Rock”. After running across some of this music on YouTube I decided to try writing a piece in that style. For my music friends, I wrote this based on the pentatonic scale in E flat minor using only the black keys on the keyboard. Once again I edited together a visual element to my music that may have some relevance. I call it “Prognosis” Say hello to 2020!
This really isn't a video but meaningful none the less. And, another way to showcase another original composition.
I completed this original composition in October 2023. All sounds, except for the horn parts which I played live, are from various virtual sound libraries which I played through a Yamaha synthesizer. The visual content consists of multiple fall foliage videos which I edited together to fit the music.
