New Music Free For Your Listening!
Welcome to Beacon Presents.
Follow the link below to hear some great new music designed to speak directly from my chakras to yours. Listening is free for you. Share away, but cite me where possible, please.
I am a (mostly) self-taught musician and composer and producer. I grew up in Marin County surrounded by many great celebrities, so I never conceived of following the path of musician for the first three decades of my life. Then, I touched OM, the Ugditha, and couldn't turn back! I believe in the healing power of music so much that I began learning the tools to create tunes and get them out there initially for my own benefit. The results have been beyond my best hope! Now it is time to get my growing body of compositions out to you in hopes to help you heal, grow, or just simply enjoy.
You will find my style to be a juxtaposition of genres. I focus more on the effects of the notes themselves than trying to fit into any box. I am a cymatic monk studying the effects of sound on matter, and many of these instrumentals I have created were dialed in using cymatic water monitors to control overtones. The interactions of waveforms never cease to amaze me.
So, head over to my soundcloud account and find something that moves you from the wide variety of instrumentation that I work with...

Training & Qualifications
As a former band musician and stage manager, I moved into sound production while attending Dominican University of California. I was invited to become part of Penguin Radio ( http://radio.dominican.edu ) where I created, programmed and ran my own show complete with regular guests to host. My show Thursday Night Mission focused on local events, news, and disseminating wisdom from some of the greatest minds in human history to my audience. It was popular enough to secure me a full two hours of air time after the first radio semesters, and I was allowed to broadcast even over winter breaks or when I was not enrolled im classes. I gained a worldwide audience fairly rapidly, and was tapped by the communications department for three honors.

First was the honor to help broadcast worldwide many premium lecture on sciences and humanities from important global speakers who had been invited as guest lecturers to Dominican U of C. Then came an award for Excellence in Broadcasting created for my benefit by the acting chair of the time, Dr Melba Beals, the renound civil rights leader. The third was the ability to step in as a volunteer substitute to run the radio station on call by the station's creator who still acts as an adjunct professor for the communications department; I was the "go to guy" for students and to keep the station running while I was still attending there. During the broadcast of my five seasons of my show Thursday Night Mission, I also had the additional honor of receiving amd interviewing some magnificent guests from the local community, including musicians, an emcee, a chaplain, a gypsy, and more.
I moved away from the area where DUofC is located but couldn't get enough of sound production, so I started composing by finding and learning new software that allowed my full control over the music in my heart.At this date, I am approaching my professional benchmark of 10,000 hours of sound production, and incresing in skill every month. Sound may not be my whole life, but sound is life! I hope you enjoy!
