"Before and/or After" is the 1st Movement from the work, "The Apostate and the Apprentice." This rendition is a live recording from a Baltimore Composers Forum concert at the First Unitarian Church of Baltimore on May 2, 2004. Video backgrounds obtained from GiveMeFreeArt.com.

Melancholy stream-of-consciousness solo piano improvisation on my Falcone grand / Zoom q3 and Kodak Easy Share cameras / Shure vp88 stereo mic / iMac with Cubase 4.

Jazz Waltz composed in 1980. For this 2011 solo performance, the theme is performed rhythmically open. The improvisation gradually turns into swing rhythm.

"Twin Worlds "- is a solo piano interlude performance that was listed on the November 18th 2011, Baltimore Composers Forum concert program as "Two Worlds." I felt that this rendition was different enough from the original concept.to give it a new title. The stage lighting was dim, and I had to tweak the video a lot to make it visible. That and the fact that I wore black gave the effect that ghostly hands were playing an equally ghostly piano. The new title pays homage to science fiction writer Neil R. Jones (1909-1988), especially his series about the last surviving earthman, Professor Jameson, and his interstellar adventures with the Zorome machine-men (i.e. cyborgs). Isaac Asimov credits Jones' stories as one of the inspirations behind the robots of his Robot series.

"Blue", "Red", & "Gold" (Three Etudes for Tomorrow) were performed at a Baltimore Composers Forum concert at Goucher College, Towson MD, in November of 2002. As “stream-of-consciousness” improvisations, the music requirement was simply a sheet of blue paper, a sheet of red, and one goldenrod page. The somewhat more elaborate video backgrounds are intended to convey the same spirit as the original sheets.

This is a 2011 solo piano rendition of a tune I wrote and originally recorded in 1980. This rubato introduction and coda of this video rendition contain images of beautiful paintings by Impressionistic painter, Claude Monet (1840-1926). These are absent from the beginning and concluding theme, and the solos have a bit of digital unrest to add to the flavor of the performance. As some have observed, the minor harmonies suggest that not everything is truly serene - My summers growing up were truly halcyon, as I was able to spend long hours away from abusive atmosphere of my home.

Part one of the "Maryland Suite," this is a harmonic sketch, inspired by photos I took a number of years back while doing a gig at a private home, located on Gibson Island, Maryland. Typically, I arrived and set up with time to spare. The house overlooked Sillary Bay, where I took these shots as the sun was setting. The theme is played through once, and then improvised over.
