These tracks were composed around 2000-2002, after I had left behind a pop music career (or rather, after it had left me) and in many ways the style is a reaction against the limitations of pop.  So much electronic music is just 2 or 4 really cool bars of music repeated over and over with some sound effects or samples layered on top.  My goal with most of these tunes was to develop a melody in an almost Classical or Baroque way against the context of electronic dance beats.

Some have characterized this music as "progressive trance" or "symphonic dance", but I have never been much at naming and classifying my own music.  I like having a positive vibe to my tunes, though there are undercurrents of tension and melancholy.
