This music came from my heart — and is for your heart. Each piece flowed out improvising while in a state of deep stillness and full yearning. Over a span of a few months, a suite of eight solo piano pieces took final shape.
Coming out of such a period in my life, I named this suite of pieces: The Heart Also Opens.
I welcome you to listen to or download any or all of these pieces — and I hope you enjoy them!

exploration of inner feelings. The deep imagery he evokes is profound

imagination. His skillful playing runs through a wide range of
