about

This began WAY BACK WHEN in the late 1970s when I wanted to write something that reflected my relationship with Denise. At that point in time, I was listening to a lot of ambient music and enjoying how the composers layered in track after track after track. The main melody I put together originally on piano when I was learning that instrument. I can't say I ever really succeeded in getting beyond the amateur stage with keyboards...

When Apple released Garageband in 2005, I picked up a piano keyboard I could plug into the computer and finally recorded the piece as well as I could remember it. As Garageband evolved, I added my guitar tracks, along with assorted loops and software horns and strings, to the piece, eventually ending up with 19 tracks and a ten-minute song. When Logic Pro arrived on the scene, I moved the whole project into that program and fiddled with it some more.

What you hear on this track comes from that long, interrupted compositional process. Hope you enjoy!
