ALICE 24
backstory

in 1994 (pre internet), I was hired to compose music
for a CD ROM for Alice in Wonderland
by a production company in the Netherlands
co-ordinated through a GTA producer

Toronto advertising media wunderkind 
David Buder brought me on to do the soundtrack
having just released my 3rd album
night parachuting

I had some experience doing kid's music
for my wife then, Jody Terio
who had a children's theatre company
called Little Red Theatre
and a home studio now in north Parkdale to create it
setting up to finish Alice that summer
surrounded by gear
and storyboards

30 years later, pulling it out
dusting it off - tossing in some vintage Disney
some AI, a new remix here and shazam

it's unfortunate that CD ROMS
(entertainment/gaming/information)
never took off and the project
fizzled upon release as the format
quickly disappeared from the market

computer programs continued to sell
on discs until around 2003
before the CD ROM became extinct

that said, it was a whole lot of fun
doing it

there definitely IS something to be said 
for having long periods of time to think
about whatever you want
to think about

and solitude is all about
appreciating just that,
the uninterrupted
service

that said?
loneliness is a curse

I REMEMBER



shifting gears here
into November?
moving things around
always looking for
the perfect fit

ok it's a blast 

thanks for watching & listening
confessing - this is all for the girls

a recent sampling from the albums
one life, two lives & three lives












I   R E M E M B E

so tiny, my baby minnie girl
a short remembrance
of fatherdom
in 1986


thinking before and after
on this one - I'm 67
and just realizing

my daughter and my mother
are basically one in the same
only in my processing of that
have I become totally
insane
