Breaking Away
Breaking Away Track number: 5 Year: 1990 Album: Sky Genre: Alternative

Turn It Under (unfinished)
Turn It Under (unfinished) Track number: 2 Year: 1984 Genre: Classic Rock
Salvaged from an archived cassette tape found in a storage box since 1992, this was one of several experimental tunes I composed on keyboards just for fun in my spare time. Recorded on a Tascam 4-channel/4-track cassette recorder/mixer, Tascam stereo reverb, and a Teac master cassette deck. "Turn It Under" was inspired by the song "Turn It Over" from The Green Album by Eddie Jobson. All sounds you hear are produced from a Korg CX-3 organ or a Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 polysynth. Even more unique is that all power-chord guitar sounds are not a guitar, but created from the Prophet 600 run through a Boss "Heavy Metal" distortion effect box.
