A composer and performer for more that 30 years, John's compositions are a deep expression of his personal landscape; the people, places and events that are part of the texture of his life. The power of his compositions is in their meditative quality - these are pieces that, while meant to be shared, are inherently personal. As such, they don't lend themselves to "group listening" but come off better in a concert setting or as a private listening experience. John's compositions and phrasing create a meditative state. Attentive listening will often find you looking at the clock, asking what happened to the last half-hour.
