Recordings
Just Released: Passage
Piano-driven ambient post-rock. Unplug. Unwind. Let Go. Imagine.
The dynamic energy of a live band fused with downtempo grooves and thematic elements creates a unique brew of relaxing ear candy. Cinematic in scope, this music takes you on a journey. Where it leads is up to you.
The intention of this CD was to take the relaxation/meditation/chill aspect of the previous project but bring it up a notch by using a full band. As I prepared, songs started to emerge that seemed to fit an overall theme about a journey. So, this could be a concept album, although it isn’t deliberately so. Please enjoy the video sampler to get a taste of what’s on this recording.

Draw Me Close

Soothing instrumental music for relaxation, contemplation, prayer, wellness and healing.
“Draw Me Close” is a collection of instrumentals featuring the piano playing of Kelly Carpenter, along with some help by guitarists Scott Burnett and Andy Park, both longtime friends, as well as percussion by Charles Barnett.
Although the project was intended primarily for meditation and ministry times, in the years since it’s initial release, this music has taken on additional applications. It has been used for Yoga, healing arts, mind and body therapy, special education music therapy, etc.
