Home / Music / Fusion

The music in this section was written between 1998 and 2001. It represents a time when I was interested many different styles of music including Jazz Fusion, Funk, Latin, and Far Eastern music.

These pieces were recorded almost entirely with an Emu Esi-32, with occasional appearances by an old (even for the time) Roland Dr. Synth and a Kawai K5.

Most of this piece is in 7/4 time. The title is Star Trek inspired. Often you will hear locations mentioned on the Enterprise such as "ten forward." That plus the time signature lead me to come up with "Seven Forward." I'm a Trekkie from way back.

The intro is an attempt at sounding Baroque. Little did I know that I'd return to that style more fully later.
