Hi everyone!

I began working with MIDI in 1982, right after I graduated college with a degree in classical music theory and composition.  My friend Gary Leuenberger, who is a pianist and who owned a piano store in San Francisco, where I live, called me one day around 1985 to invite me and a few other musicians to hear Bach's Brandenburg Concerto in D major, the first movement, that he programmed for 8 DX-7s (the TX816 rack) using the Yamaha QX-1 sequencer.   I was hooked.  From that day until today, I've been immersed in MIDI composition and production.  I've scored for TV, film, dance, animation, games, documentaries and other commercial projects before I "retired" from soundtrack work to focus on my own compositions and albums.  I am also immersed in astrophotography and have produced, so far, 17 music videos featuring my astrophotographs set to music.  Some of the soundtracks are specifically written for the music videos, some are symphonic movements and other works I've composed for my albums.  

I'm not allowed to post the link to my website but it's easy to find. I'm currently working on my 14th symphony for virtual instruments.  Feel free to ask me anything you want about MIDI composition and production. Maybe I can be of help.
