Introduction

Short stories from dawn to youthful night adventure to dreams and nightmares to another kind of dawn far away.

“This happened when the world was young and love could never die, when the skies flamed every morning and it rained every night...”

124 concise non-fiction chapters that use as minimal an amount of your life as possible to convey many kinds of things that matter.

My 13th piano duet, of horror and beauty, followed by 29 other tracks of diverse kinds. As with my other music releases, all the compositions are my own.

Contemplative, truth-facing music with alternating string passages and tack piano sections.

My first three singles range from that eternal flow through those darkest moments we face alone to an eventful fog and beyond: “Land of Youth & Beauty”, “That Dark, Dark Night”, and “In the Fog, Deep”.

Fifty tracks in widely different styles from my earliest years as a composer, encompassing feelings shared directly through improvisation, thrills and enigmas, and moments of beauty, sorrow, and meaning.

My first album started with the idea of pure exploration of the power of chords and chord changes but grew from there as ideas sparked. The result is a work of peaks and meditative valleys that also includes a Lovecraft poetry reading.

More than half of this substantial volume consists of the wide-ranging conversations with two legendary creative figures, actor & writer David Lee Homb and composer & artist Pierre Estève.

The second season continued expanding the parameters of my first podcast, What Now with Simo, with an increasingly free style and experiments recording while driving and at the gym. Also includes lyrics to the Mardi Gras song “If Ever I Cease to Love”, my poem for the game Serena, and “An Overview of The Ray Bradbury Theater”.

The first in the full transcript series of my 2020–2025 podcast. The introduction for the first volume outlines my aims and inspirations. Also included: Shakespeare’s Sonnet 98 and H. P. Lovecraft’s prose poem “Ex Oblivione”.

A set of 12 piano duets. As with stories in other forms, these can start, proceed, and end with any kinds of scenes and emotions, and as with most of my work in every field, beyond conventions of theory and genre.

In the middle volume of this 3-part graphic novel, the visions seen earlier take shape in a series of events in unexpected places. The Haunted Garden is always changing, and these are stories through form as well as feeling. Vol. 3...? 

With a series of wordless visions, the first volume introduces us to Rex the former game actor, Pregnant Horse of the Lascaux caves, Alannah the luminous butterfly, and the mysterious world of the Haunted Garden in Iceland.

An Iceland Symphony is a musical composition of 21 sections involving theatrical elements. Its performance calls for musicians of all ages from the youngest to the oldest. This book includes the full sheet music complete with performance instructions.
