Instrumental Rock Symphonic depiction of Alexandre Dumas' "4th" Musketeer.

Classical Crossover tune featuring exotic synths, harmonies and subtle key changes, evolving from mystic mellow to a buoyant R&B instrumental ending.

Mystic and majestic, mostly instrumental rock symphonica prelude, with just a few existential lyrics and some improvised horn / violin synth guitar solos.

Upbeat trance featuring a main synth-brass theme and a secondary piano theme which then unite into an ultimate "peace of mind" counterpoint, in the latter part of the track.
Phantom of the Opera Phantom of the Opera
I used to do a live vocal duet version of this song with the late Catherine Clarkson, using this self-recorded backup track. We never did record the vocal rendition, and so instead I added this improvised lead guitar instrumental.

I always loved Procol Harum's Conguistador, especially the live version recorded with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.

James Bondish-type music, with lyrics pondering our modern world as the actual meaning of Atlantis. Homeric / Platonic prophecy rather than history or myth?
Leslie's Lullaby Leslie's Lullaby
Sweet lullaby waltz recorded for my wife during a time when I couldn't sing and thought I might die. As a little girl she had to go for elocution lessons to learn how to pronounce the 3 "L's" in her name. Weswie's Wuwwaby" :)
