Nath Theme Development 107 BPM

June 18, 2011

This is still too slow but the piece is taking shape and is actually pretty good music to work to already. I can hear strings all over this and might have a play with them later on tonight. I am going to try and resist the temptation to make the piano any more complicated than [...]

May 25, 2011

Podcast: Play in new window

Currently developing a blues piano piece for Nath (that’s her T-shirt design in the box up there on the right!)

Why Listening to Music at Work Could Make You Smarter

February 3, 2010

Performance Increases as noise level increases
