MUSIC VIDEO CLIPS:
Here are some video clips, some of them accompanied by my music. These are short clips but I think you will enjoy them.
I love nature and ancient America and you'll see that in my video work.

Views of the City of Chester, UK
On a business trip I was able to stay in the beautiful city of Chester in the UK. It is not far from Manchester (that's where you fly into). The town has a lot of Roman history and a historical wall around the city. Also, those Shakespearian houses which are so beautiful. It is just a wonderful city to walk around all day long and at night. Do not forget the Cathedral. It is superb with lots of history.
I stayed in the San Diego Area and decided to go visit the Joshua Tree National Park. After a beautiful day in the desert park I decided to hang out in the city of Palm Springs. Well, It turned that is was Veterans Day and there was a big parade downtown. As I had a very nice spot, I took the chance to take a lot of video footage. A bit of aditing and then you have this nice movie which I provided to the City of Palm Springs and its residents.
Sunset at Trinidad Coast, California
In Humboldt County in California you have a wonderful blend of mountains, Redwood parks, Oregon-type rocky coast as well as wonderful wetlands. One area that I always visit and hang out for a long time is the coastline at Trinidad, a bit north of the city of Eureka.
The coast in Humboldt County in California can be wild and the sound of the water and crashing waves are so relaxing and impressive. Enjoy.
Seals Playing in Morro Bay Harbor, Central California
A place I visit almost every year is Avila Bay, which is close to San Luis Obispo, on the California Central Coast. A wonderful place with lots of nature, beautiful coastline, lots of wildlife, and not too busy. I always visit the nearby city of Morro Bay with the giant volcanic rock, Morro Rock, sticking out of the coast. This time, I saw seals playing around in the harbor. So cute.
In May 2013 I visited the Bushkill Falls in the Poconos in Pennsylvania. I made a video and also added some music to it. The music is new and I combined it with the sounds of the Falls. Instruments used are all virtual ones from Arturia, Native Instruments, AAS and also special samples.
Here is new video with fresh footage that I took this and last year of the wildlife along the Central California coast. Lots of birds, ocean views, sea otters, and more. It was taken in the area around San Luis Obispo / Morro Bay. The music that you hear is "Pacific Coast" from the CD "Silhouettes At Dusk".
Here is a 5 minute compilation of various historical locations in the South-West of the US. I very much enjoy this part of the country and am always looking for ancient stories (see my petroglyph video as well). This time, I combined views of the impact crater, Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot in Arizona and also Bandelier in New Mexico.I used as music the track "Voice Of Reason" of my new CD "Silhouettes At Dusk"."
This is a fun movie which I compiled from several videos that I obtained while driving various scenic routes in Arizona, New Mexico, Maui, Kaui, Island of Hawaii and California. For a change, I did some image editing of the frames at various stages of the movie to get some interesting variation for your enjoyment. Also, I sped up the speed a bit for the less patient folks. I did not use the footage for a long time but when I decided to put the track "Hold On" on my new CD "Silhouettes At Dusk" it made sense to combine the two. Enjoy.
Here is a short video of the sunrise I witnessed on Maui's Haleakala Vulcano. The last part was sped up many times to see the clouds moving. I put one of my early vocal works (Ode To Ra) on this video. Ra being the sun god that made sense.
These are views of sculptures by Rob Portier in Breda, The Netherlands. I received video footage and photos and did some editing and placed one of my new compositions "World-Wide Meditation" on it as sound track. Of course, with Rob's Approval. Enjoy the experience.

Here is the video that I originally made to fit with the track "Alive" from my CD "Evolutions". The video starts with a view of the skyline up close, then zooms out and turns into a time-lapsed sunset with the waves coming after every boat/ship that passes. Watch the reflections on the buildings as the sun sets. It is amazing but watching it yourself is best. Besides, San Diego (my old stomping ground) is a wonderful city to visit. Don't forget a stroll in Balboa Park.
View of falling snow in NJ during winter of 2005. The light was very special so that things started to look white-purple. I accompanied this video with one of my compositions "Decisive". So this way you can get to know my music while watching something nice.
I made several videos in New Mexico's "Petroglyph National Monument" and reduced them to this 5 minute video. Due to the size reduction sometimes a few petroglyphs are not in focus. Nevertheless, it is still great to see all these ancient drawings. I had a composition laying around called "Spirit of the Americas" and thought that fit pretty OK with this video. This way, you can get another feel for what music I make. If you do, visit my site en enjoy some more.
Here is new video with fresh footage that I took this and last year of the wildlife along the Central California coast. Lots of birds, ocean views, sea otters, and more.

Here is a short video of Monarch Butterflies that I saw on the Pacific Coast in November 2006 during their migration. I accompanied it with music that I composed for this footage. Enjoy.
