Tomb of Khes'Sh

They say that somewhere in the Windless Reach, between giant standing stones, the remains of King Khes'Sh, last heir of the 'Sh dynasty, lay resting. They say the tomb waits patiently to slay arrogant tomb-robbers. They say one has to be equally brave and stupid to go in search of its entrance. They say - "remember that King Khes'Sh was a lousy drunk who squandered the wealth of a kingdom and left nothing but rumours about endless coin buried in secret places". But there are some adventurers who would never accept the mere word of folk and would always seek to discover for themselves what really lies in the dark places of the world.

One such adventurer is Isi'ta'nefer. This is the start of her journey...

The Runner

Lied Sonder Teks

I composed this piano work in 2023 and it sat in the drawer, unplayed, until recently. This release includes two performances of the work, one on piano by John Zeff, and one on a Rhodes Stage-73 by myself. I've also included two different mixes of the piano performance - one is a cassette tape mix, the other a clean digital mix.

Pick your poison.This release is free to download if you like it 🙂

The Ensorcelled Crow

Dear listeners, I bring you a new album - fantasy music of the orchestral and synth variety. This short album is inspired by the tale of a crow which became accidentally enchanted when a confused wizard, having brewed one too many a potion, left his magical reagents unattended beside a window and lo - the crow helped itself to several snacks.

Suddenly the crow could divine all the futures and in the ensuing years he cawed of his visions to an ever-growing cult of followers...
