Demo Sequencing

Music HomeVocal MusicCommercial MusicSynthesizer CompositionsDemo Sequencing

"This is a sampling of some of the demonstration sequences that I wrote and performed for Kurzweil Music Systems and later Young Chang Americe. These were created by playing and recording one track at a time using the onboard sequencer (if there was one - the 1000 series instruments had sounds only). As you will hear I have an eclectic musical style. My goal was to use the instruments in a "real world" environment, and after sixteen years of gig experience (at the time) I knew what I was after in terms of sounds. The result is what you will hear here. Except where noted I played all of the parts. I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I enjoyed creating them."

On the right: This shot was taken at the Kurzweil NAMM booth in LA. Here I am giving a demo to keyboardist/producer Tom Mgrdichian. Tom was really good at sequencing and had some of the best, tightest horn sounds around.
