Among the struggles that I have had over the years is to know what genre is a best fit for my music. I have come to the conclusion that there is not one single genre, or even several genres, which adequately describe or characterize my music, specifically with respect to intent. At the same time, I understand that it might be confusing for any given consumer of my music to know, based on something like an album cover or a song title (etc.), what they are getting themselves into before pushing the play button. I feel like I should provide some idea, in advance, of what might be the listening experience.
Consequently, a listening guide is offered here as a kind of [genre or descriptive] reference for my music. It is a good faith attempt to characterize the music without losing the sense that what matters even more that genre is that the music is authentic to itself and to the audience as a spiritual experience. Hence, music produced after September 1, 2025 will be labeled by color according to the following characterizations:
Blue – Easy listening, including hymns, gospel songs, and popular music
Green – Improvisational music that derives from mostly from traditional Western harmonic forms and styles
Yellow – Experimental music that spans and/or resists genres and styles
