Dawn

A small digital recorder
and many nights in the bedroom
resulted in a new "Dawn".

A collection of 11 pieces

of a somewhat improvisational nature

to some degree spontaneously composed

On this recording
I fell into a somewhat introspective and reflective place ...

it didn't hurt one bit
though I did put a run in my stocking

The recording of this music started at the beginning of my father's illness
and continued on through his death and for a period thereafter.
I have placed the pieces in chronological order, so as to sustain
whatever energy might have been present on this journey.

The cover painting of Saltskärs Käring is by Solveig Udén.
This structure stands on a rocky island off the west coast of Sweden.

On the waters protected by Saltskärs Käring

we released my father's ashes.

please check out the sounds (mp3 files) below:

1. Coastin' 2. Big Sky 3. Goose Down 4. Red Blues 5. Gone 6. Adrift

7. Launch 8. Dawn 9. Hope 10. Onward 11. So Long

How did DAWN happen?

Well, I had been recording lot's of pieces
on a wee little recorder in my bedroom and getting to the point

where I was really beginning to like what was happening.

Late in 2004, I sent some of my music to David Pritchard

David had been a pioneer in radio as host of an all night radio show
on CHUM FM in the late 60's and had operated a recording studio since that time.
He was an artist in many fields and was into all kinds of music.
I respected his opinion.
I wanted some guidance and an opinion of what to do with my recordings.
David listened.
He encouraged me to make this collection of pieces into a cd
and he would do the mastering, the final sonic touch.
Sadly, David wasn't well
and before I was able to bring him the last piece,
he became too ill to finish what we'd started.
David's encouragement gave me the confidence to make the CD.

Thank You David

David died in early 2005

In spring of 2005, we released "Dawn"

to purchase this fine offering
