Welcome to a journey along my musical path which led me to creating my second solo full length album project, Wanderlust Wishing Well. It is lush as it winds and bends, climbs and descends while accompanied by 28 musically gifted friends, some of whom are notable and even legendary in my opinion. The creative process brought me to Los Angeles, San Diego, Toronto, Hamilton, 1000 Islands, Ohio and extra contributions arrived from India and Italy. The music themes vary on such topics as love, loss, dreams, birth and death.
Since I began whistling at ten months old, music has been a huge part of me. In recent years I’ve spent time steeping and deciding on which of the many songs I’ve written to record next.
Friends involved are from various musical backgrounds which I love including jazz, world, classical, prog rock, psychedelic and pop. Since I hear arrangements in my mind when I write a song, I find great pleasure in working with such musicians who play traditional and unique ethnic instruments from both the Western and Eastern hemispheres of our globe. As well, I have a fondness and fascination for incorporating antique instrumentation that tell a story including the Mellotron, Arp 2600, a baby grand used to create the music for silent films in Los Angeles and one of the world's oldest foley stages within a sound studio in Los Angeles that was built by the Pacific Electric Company in the early 20th Century. In the 60s it was owned by Liberace and then by the inventor of the time code, Bruce Scott.
I feel the result of Wanderlust Wishing Well is my heart through song – an organic self produced sonic experience that I hope you will enjoy!
