TRACK LIST || BACKGROUND || The Unique “CHASE” Track: a detailed look

“Steve: (I was able) to listen to at least one of your new pieces – ‘A Growing Acceptance.’ Will I embarrass you if I say I cried, after listening to it a couple of times ?? It’s so emotive and has a perfect ‘texture.’ The concluding silence at the end is as heartfelt and moving as the piece itself ! ”
Kathryn Talalay – Author of the acclaimed book, Composition in Black and White (a New York Times Notable Book of the Year)
(you’ve just GOT to know about this book, written by a good friend and valuable listener. We highly recommend it…click here for Amazon link)

“I just LOVE this music ! Your ‘Infinite Chase Through Alternate Universes’ …captures the story and spirit of my book ‘INFINITE’ beautifully ! I’d like to share this with a screenwriter who’s working on the film adaptation of the book. I figure it might give him some great inspiration ! If this ever becomes a film, I hope that you can score the music… ?! “
Brian Freeman – Prolific New York Times Bestselling Author
(Brian has published so many successful stories and series – “Infinite” is a favorite. Click here to go to Brian’s website, learn about his many projects, including novels in the Jason Bourne series !)
