Dear George!
Thank you for this ”Let me know if there is something in particular of yours that you'd like me to hear”. Well, of course I like all my music pieces and as you say, ”musical taste also varies with the time of day. And what I just ate or drank”. I can add, or what I just have heard, seen, experienced or whatever I have over 100 pieces on my yt channel and had to choose something, here is 1) my variations on a swedish folksong ”Who can sail…” 2) The gift to play and 3) Melody for Steigraeber Bright (ex tempore improvisation).
I think, for me, composing is making emotional information/mood into ….. acustic music.

Hey thanks for the feedback (which is a little hard to come by on the forum these days for whatever reason. Maybe it's social distancing. Lol!).
I have had different favorites over the years. DREAMSCAPE (1) is one if for no other reason it is such a good teaching vehicle. Also a good composition example of
how to write a piece just using I vi IV and V.
A Memory (6) is a personal favorite as it is a piece that repeats one rhythm 51 times without getting boring. To make up for this, it moves throughout the keyboard and proceeds from F to G to A major.
I find musical taste also varies with the time of day. And what I just ate or drank.
Let me know if there is something in particular of yours that you'd like me to hear.
Again, thanks for listening.

I love them, nr 2 and nr 3 and the last one. Beautiful!! For some reason I thought a moment of something by Joe Hishaishi when listened to nr 2.
(have play Friends and Angel Springs).
You know, music is a multifaceted phenomenon, and we listeners have different reception and interpretation reactions towards music. I read somewhere, that an individual’s favorite music genre is closely linked to his or her personality. Well, my musical personality enjoyed/chose nr 2, 3 and 6. Thank you very much for uploading

A complete recording of my celebrated teaching folio Dreamscapes, Book One published by Alfred. I am playing Pianoteq's Steinway D using the Prelude preset.
