Description: Subtitled, 'Phantasmagoria,' 'Ottoman Odyssey,' is an arrangement derived from an earlier production comprised of a haunting motif that availed itself to mystery and ethnic interpretation. The 'world music fusion' that resulted from the additional production incorporates instrumentation from the Arabian Peninsula that includes: Dumbek, Oud, Turkish Ney, Doudouk and sundry ethnic percussion with drums, bass, electric guitar, cello and viola sections. Story Behind the Music: This composition was penned late in 2004 at the suggestion of Danney Alkana of 'Bonanza Music.' An industry listing had beckoned for music to CSI [a program I have never seen] and I had absolutely nothing to contribute. Over the next couple of days I arranged a track that was not picked up but nonetheless might have future potential. I took the track into Patrick Collins at 'Collinator Studios' where we 'finished' the basic tracks. And there it sat until July of 2008, when I reconsidered the original arrangement in my new studio, 'On Top Of a Cloud' in Lake Tahoe. |

Professional Reviews
"...there's no doubt about the quality of the material...it's excellent...Nice work..." ---Taxi, August, 18, 2008 "...solid ambient moods...interesting guitar sound...melodic theme...good groove...the arrangement evolves with balance while accenting the main motif...excellent concept...the tracks are musical while dramatic. Your writing skills are in top form with an inventive arranging style. A key factor in creating the right impact (with the broadcast medium) lies with the arranging design of the music. I like the way you make good use of good melodies via creative arranging, good job. The tracks establish solid themes and progress from there with an even treatment enabling the listener to follow the journey with ease. The writing is so vast that supervisors will view each piece as independent islands full of relative possibilities. Keep writing and good luck!" ---Taxi, August 25, 2008 "You very well may be a "musical maverick" from my interpretation of your biography...[this] piece shows a lot of ambition in it's overall scope..." ---Taxi, December 11, 2008 "You're impressively all over the map as a composer. These pieces certainly demonstrate a wide stylistic range..." ---Taxi, August 27, 2009 |
