I am VERY excited to have acquired Torley’s newest release, “DREAM JOURNAL” This has been an ongoing project he has been working on that I was saving to check out until I could hear it in its entirety. I still have not made it completely through all 50 tracks of this truly immersive music. On the surface I am feeling two emotions that are warring with each other. Upon first initial listening, I was very excited that it felt as if Torley has had a revival and can definitely feel his style, but on the other hand, I haven’t decided if I like this or not yet, but Dream Journal is very complex, and I feel he has gotten extremely complex, while this is interesting and by no means bad, I wonder if sometimes I’m lacking that emotion I long for, but again I have yet to make it all the way through. Again, I am severely pleased with this release. Torley has had wonderful piano collections he has been putting out, but Dream Journal takes back into a technological realm, a realm that he so well designs by mixing a wide variety of different sounds to create a truly unique sonic universe.

This may sound like a forced advertisement, but I really enjoy this release and highly recommend it.

Starting off, I’d like to announce that I am now on Itunes, Amazon, and Rhapsody!

Changes will becoming to this site soon with more info, accessibility, and fun. I’ve got a whole lot of new music rolling around in my head and will be going in to record a new album this spring. I’ll be trying to raise the bar on this one, and we together are going to go places we’ve never been. It will be an adventure!

I would like to recommend that everyone watch “This is It” the Michael Jackson Documentary. It was phenomenal.

Remember, there is always two sides to every story and two ways to look at things, just like in music when a major key has a relative minor in its same staffing. Assess a situation fully before you make a decision or act/overact.

Have a great day!
