The Score

The idea I was working with when I created Pinokenstein was a rock band that kept getting crashed by Beethoven's String section.  The result is a rock and roll score like no other.  Gothic and sinister, at times aching with loss and longing.  I wish it had taken me longer to write. 

These new recording have been made possible by a generous grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council.  Thank you.

One For Nothing - the overture and opening number, where Dr. Geppetto is about to bring Pinokenstein to life.

You Made Me - Pinokenstein's tender song of abandonment that turns terrifying when he decides to get Geppetto's love by taking body parts from those he cares about.

Broken Promises - Three unfinished projects haunt Dr. Geppetto's nightmares.

What You Deserve - The final confrontation between Pinokenstein and Dr. Geppetto on an iceberg.
