2021
“We all have our time machines, don’t we. Those that take us back are memories… And those that carry us forward are dreams.” – H. G. Wells.
At the completion of my CD “Waiting”, I decided to start on another project immediately. I’m not sure whether it was my turning 60 or the fact that 2020 was a year that had me wishing for another time, but either way I found myself drawn to stories of time travel. I did not begin this project with the idea it would be a concept CD, and it’s not but it does seem to feel like one. It Just proves how much your writing is influenced by your situation, whether you realize it or not.
“Keepsakes”, just like the CD “Waiting”, is a collection of jazz/rock, atmospheric and symphonic compositions. I have written, performed, recorded and produced all the music on this CD.
Just a small electric guitar solo from my CD Keepsakes. Emika – Japanese – blessed, beautiful child.
