In the past, I highly recommended listening to my music through CDR with high-quality audio equipment or good headphones (by the way, I compose and always listen to myself with headphones). The optimal way to appreciate my music would be to listen to the physical CDRs I have sold until now. However, currently, only FLAC downloads are available. Burning each CDR and shipping physical CDRs are expensive and require too much time, so I will burn them only upon your very special request. Please contact me if you genuinely need a CD format.
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3
but lossless.
This means that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality.
The compression in FLAC is similar to how Zip works, but it provides much better compression because it is
designed specifically for audio.
You can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player, car, or home stereo just like you would an MP3
file.
FLAC stands out as the fastest and most widely supported lossless audio codec.
It is the only one that is non-proprietary, unencumbered by patents, has an open-source reference
implementation,
has a well-documented format and API, and has several other independent implementations.
You can get my music as FLAC files for download. Below is the list of available albums:

As soon as I receive payment, I'll send you an email containing instructions to download the album. Essentially, I will provide you with a URL to download a single compressed file and a password to decrypt the downloaded file. Below are the detailed instructions, also included in the email you will receive:
