A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible! Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song. Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart. The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

Story behind the song
New sounds and textures have a way of inspiring those that compose music. The synth sounds that are used here did just that.

Breathtaking intro…Arlen. Killer synth work…expertly executed. This is something that is a bit different for you. it is fresh and exciting in every way my friend. I like Doug’s word "TRANCERFIC"!!!

That trancerific synth line sets you up to wonder what's just around the corner. Fantastic drum beat and backing all the way through, but what really got me gassed was that super cool heavy duty bass line! Another wonderful compo Arlen!

A mix of house, hip hop, funk, and jazz all wrapped up in one stellar production. Drums sound phat and the guitar sits perfectly in the mix. Like the funky synth toward the end too. Glad to see you back bro!
