Artist picture
Electronic, experimental, ambient, somnambulist, fusion, eclectic, live electronics.
This is not a band page per se, although there are other artists who collaborate with me on various projects. I am primarily a solo composer of melodic ambient experimental music, pulling from many influences gained over 40 years in music making, so this means you'll hear semi-classical pieces with elements of concrete and soundscapes, rock with elements of experimental ambient music and so on. In a nutshell, eclectic.

Story behind the song
For this song, I enlisted the amazing talent and imagination of NY guitarist, Marco Oppedisano. I wanted to relay the impression of Soviet grandeur going wrong, at Chernobyl, with the workers realizing that the reactor was out of control, and scurrying to stop the chain reaction. Of course they fail, and the last section of music paints a very poisonous and radioactive scene.
