MIDI
programming is the primary way I compose and create music. I program
and record at home, using a variety of antiquated software and hardware
methods. I typically get pretty good results with my recordings,
although I'm usually about 20 years behind the technology curve!
CDs of some of my work can be purchased here.
In 2003, I recorded
a series of demo tracks using a nifty little software wavetable
synthesizer called WinGroove.
I think of these tracks as pop songs in the making. Some have melodies,
and some don't. They aren't the best-sounding recordings, but I
think they are the best examples of my programming skills and original
musical ideas.

Projects
Here are some
examples of other artists' songs I have programmed for various projects.
These files are presented in General MIDI format.
Naked
Eyes Live
This past year, Naked Eyes
began touring again. Although one half of the duo (Rob Fisher) is
now deceased, the remaining member (Pete Byrne) is touring successfully
with a new backup band. There was one problem, however, in preparing
for the tour: the original synth sequences, which were programmed
by Rob, no longer existed! I was contacted and asked to help program
new versions of these classic songs, essentially reverse-engineering
them by ear, and Naked Eyes is now performing with these tracks!
Check them out, and compare them to the original
tunes!
