Composer/Author - "Pocket Music": Contemporary "classical" music for busy people & "The Atheist's Guide to Miracles"

My recording studio

I am a "Classical" composer. Unlike other classical composers I am not dead. That makes me a contemporary composer. Don't be alarmed. My music won't give you a headache. Some of it is also mercifully SHORT, perfect for our ADD culture. For instance, you can listen to my Pocket Music on your iPhone while you wait for your latte at Starbucks. It will make you feel culturally superior. Try it here.
I use a virtual orchestra that sounds as good as the real thing. My musicians don't take coffee breaks. However, I also write music for "real" symphony orchestras, for dance, and opera. You can listen to these larger works (and rent scores & parts) here.

I do lots of other things beside music. My eBook "The Atheist's Guide to Miracles" is being published this summer (2012). I am also a photographer. See more here.
