DVous Music

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. When I was 13, a family friend brought tapes of Pat Metheny, Jean-Michel Jarre, Chick Corea, Tangerine Dream, Keith Jarret, and Manheim Steamroller to our home. That convergence of music and my Classical training since 6 yrs. old was captivating. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Jean-Michel Jarre, Oxygene Trilogy Lyle Mays, Pat Metheny, As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls Mannheim Steamroller, Fresh Aire III "As Falls" made me question the music I had heard to that point in my life—especially Jazz. "Oxygene" inspired me to think of endless sonic creations electronic or otherwise. Fresh Aire II made me rethink Classical, Jazz, and all other music. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “When I Loved You (feat. Ashley Toman)” It was inspired by a trip to Ireland, and I wrote it as an instrumental song. I knew it needed lyrics and vocals. I found Ashley Toman, and she agreed to write and sing. She was fantastic! It came together remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
