Surfing Video

Hello Friends and Fans,

When I was in New Zealand last year I met a great surfer named Luke Darby.  He lives right on Piha beach with awesome flatmates Matt and Dana.  You can see the waves right from their balcony and if they are breaking just right you can be in the surf in about 30 sec.  The day I arrived happened to be one of the best days of the summer!  Luke also happens to be an aspiring film maker and he got some great footage that day and created an amazing video using my song, “I Am Free”.  I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.  It was an epic day of surfing that I won’t soon forget.  Here is Luke’s website: http://www.zepher.co.nz

Spanish Guitar Meets Sitar

Hello Friends and Fans!

In 2009 I produced a really cool song for a Bengali vocalist named Zafreen.  I have uploaded the instrumental version of the track for your listening pleasure.  It is a haunting mixture of Spanish guitar, sitar and flute.  Enjoy!
