Biography
I was a professional drummer for 15 of the last 35 or so years, playing clubs, concerts, and studio work. About 13 years ago I found it too limiting, so began writing around a midi keyboard setup and my computer. I spend most of my time developing piano and synthesizer lines for my music. My style is an eclectic mix of influences being a mix of Progressive, Psychedelic, Classic Rock, SciFi , Soundtracks, Classical, Jazz, New Age and Electronic music. Most songs are mixed genre ... but they do vary quite a bit, so if you don't find something you like, try something else. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the musical journey. Brian

'Mind Of The Beast' is exciting.
'Banging On A Metal Railing'...while I'm not a drummer, I've done this myself. Mine never sounded as good as this.
Good Stuff!

Hi there,
ust happened by and I'm really impressed with your music, had a listen to a few songs and wow, always something different, all performed and produced with obvious skill. Very nice work!
|

Yeah!!! Purdy Flower is a great tune....I will listen more. It is really enjoyable finding talented people on this site. Very cool sound.

Hi Brian, how have I missed you and your amazing mixture of music here! I have had a good and enjoyable tour around, loved Never and Forever with its funky feel, Mirrors of Deception is for sure perfect for a movie, sort of eerie but sensitive. Think you have true talent and lots of imagination! Wishing you well, Melsi

Hi Brian, Thanks for the welcome here! Been doing the same playing the flutes, but have gotten into playing around with keyboards a bit trying to come up with my own mixes with the flutes. Just getting a feel for the site once again here. Thanks again for saying hi.

Hey Brian,
I really appreciate the comments you left. Almost as much as I am digging your music---you obviously have the technical side down, a great ear and the "skeels" AKA chops to back it all up....Very nice! Lovin the chord choices too.

Hi Brian!
I am new to Mixposure and have been listening randomly to see what people are writing and discovered your music.
Great work! Your music is very refreshing, love how you have used your drumming experiences take the beautifully written melody lines and rhythms to a new emotional level. Very cool!

Brian, I was listening to a few of your songs for enjoyment and when I heard hospital food I was reminded of the immense respect I feel for you unique creations and variety. You are a true "artist".

'Cool Cat'...
Hey I can almost see you from on top of Lake Superior here in Thunder Bay, Ontario. ...had many trips to & thru Wisconsin...not far away at all.
Like this subtle piano start; a bit mystical -lovely feel, -the guitar comes in like a friend would visit & reminice quietly together. The synth has the right sound for this... good easy percussion here also, like this quite alot, good to find a relaxing tune. Well composed, well thought through...the keys cascade with a slight pensivnesss that turns into a livelier groove; all the elements work so well; well focused each one sharing in with this great atmosphere; fine playing; love those keys.
Excellent tune. Fine arrangement. A fave. Your music does speak so well. A lot of feelinf
Thanks for the pleasure Brian.
Your new fan & friend also. -Vesa.

 |
WOW!! I had a good listen...most fine tuneage my friend..strats...aka Dave..
|

Got the cutting-out-track problem resolved. Thanks for the great review. I was enjoying "Image of Virgo," then decided to check out "Dancing with the Borg." Wow! It is obvious you're having way too much fun making all this cool music with all the great sound effects that range from heart-stopping whammies to soothing aural vistas. There is something here for our every mood - we'll be back.
|
 |
Cool Cat, great tune Brian! I love the ambient feel and how the song draws you along. Beautiful piano work.
|
 |
Cool Cat.......So very right for the way I`m feeling at the moment...Though I`m not quite so cool..:-) (Unfortunately)..eheheee
Very nice track..:-)
|
 |
"cool cat" is real cool! love. jx
|
 |
I knew you were a monster drum programmer/composer and now i know why.. can we get you to play live drums again? I'm getting tired of loops and artifical stuff..
|
 |
so that's what the music monster looks like?
|
 |
Great patterns and harmonic color. you are VERY vocal with your playing. Outstanding phrasing!!
|
 |
Cool Cat... Love the ambience behind the vamp.
When that beat kicks in... DAMN!!
Great work sir!
|
 |
The drum experience shines through as does you drummer nature. I like the use of the older style analog sounds. Lots of nice texture and contrasts.
An truly enjoyable "meow" the improv solo technique is great all round. And I liked the overall structure of the all peices, cool cat, mind of the... I listened to.

Brian is a drummer beyond my ability to understand, but he has become a keyboard player extraordinair. His music often surprises with the time signature variations that make ones chin drop. Superb musical skills combined with engineering ability that makes the most of his music.
A top professional in my humble opinion.

What a wonderful creative mind expressed with great sounding instruments. A true musical artist.
|

Brian is one of the best "fusion" instrumentalist I've had the pleasure to play with. Between him and his brother, Jim, talent runs strong in this family.

Keeper - This must have every instrument i ever cared about in it..........Some excellent riffing and A talent Show Case , Indeed...Nicely Done.
|

Thanks for commenting on 'Kick It!' I completely
agree about the beat needing to change in the
middle. I will be working on that in the next
mix. As usual I whipped it together quick and
posted the first mix :)
I really like your artist picture up there ^ very cool.
I will be hitting some of yours as I struggle to
catch up on reviews.... I am SO far behind.

I really think its great that after all those years as a drummer, you went out in search of something else.
It would have been a pity to miss your music!
You have a very unique sound. I love it.
I find your songs to be very unique.
Thanks.
