“Growing up a fan of the Concept Album (an LP collection of songs built around a single theme or mood) and later Program Music (instrumental music designed to depict a mood, story, poem or event) and an avid fan of modern fiction, I was inspired to create this album.
“BETWEEN THE LINES is a collection of original compositions and arrangements influenced by some of my favorite books and authors of modern fiction. Most compositions are direct attempts at musical interpretations of these books. Others were composed while reading and I drew inspiration from their evocative, awe-inspiring inventiveness.
