Greetings! Welcome to Alphasongs.

Alphasongs LLC is my own personal miracle, born only seven years ago as I began my sixties, discovering and developing my abilities to compose music. This website contains my catalog of over twenty a cappella songs, of multiple genres, for performance along with my personal weblog, stories and events. Thank you in advance for your tim enjoying my songs and stories.

Prior to my musical endeavor, I was professionally employed as a senior data engineer at a Fortune 500 company in the travel business. In a side activity at this company, I got into contemporary a cappella music as a singer for a couple of years and simply was thrilled to experience the stage with a mic in my hand, singing from memory. Toward the end of my time with the group, I discovered the software we were using to manage our scores that we performed, Musescore, also had composing software available to download. In spring of 2019, I began using this software and it was intuitive to me to begin writing music to score.

Several months later, I had composed a few original scores after dabbling in arrangements of other’s music. I was beginning to get a sense of confidence when I shared a song with John Muehleisen, a professional composer featured in a concert series I was performing in with the Kirkland Choral Society. That was a special moment, beginning a special relationship with John as my mentor and teacher in this endeavor which is something I consider to be a personal miracle. It also happened just before COVID which could have ended this. But it didn’t as John has taught me and mentored me over these years successfully.

This website was introduced in 2023 and updated extensively later in 2024 with John's help. We had worked earlier in our lifes at Getty Images. John was a web designer there. On my website, explore my music on the Catalog page. I have a weblog, sharing My Two Cents, every month or so. The latest video demos of my songs feature new AI based software that can sing words from the written scores. These tools are just beginning to emerge and provide you a much better way to hear the songs without rehearsing live singers. There is video content on YouTube and audio content on SoundCloud embedded on the pages of this website, along with perusal scores, lyrics, and program notes.
