Editorial Reviews Patrick has composed a wide variety of music including what might typically be called... Good-bye Alice is a mixture of sweet orchestral string melodies and ambient sounds such as a slowly receding stream, layered on top of a driving african rhythm. Bohemian Rhapsody starts with a gentle piano interlude before evolving into moods evocative of the beautiful forests and country-side of Bohemia. While traveling through this region I always think of the many great composers such as Schubert, Mozart, and Beethoven that were also inspired by the magical beauty of this region. The piece contains an inspired celtic fiddle jam played by Mark Brissenden. The Red Scarf is an up-beat jazz dance piece that was inspired by the northern african rhythm's of Morocco. Elba is an electronic music composition that starts slowly and evolves through a number of melancholic and joyful feelings.. definitely a piece that evokes moods reflective of our existential state of being. Requiem for the Challenger is an electronic music composition dedicated to the Astronauts that perished on ! the Space Shuttle Challenger. Still Ahead is an electronic jazz piece inspired by the revolutionary melodies and rhythms of Miles Davis. Jemez Sunrise, the last composition on the CD, was inspired by the beauty of New Mexico, in particular the sunrises seen in the Jemez mountains west of Santa Fe. I hope you enjoy this set of compositions composed from the heart, without any compromise towards commercialism. Sincerely - Patrick Rooney
