I usually like to offer an explanation for where my song titles come from. This is because I'm a composer, so I only write the music portions, that said there are no clear lyrics to go by. The track's mood is usually reflected by the title, which in turn usually has something to do with something going on in my life at the time of the track's creation.
So if you're a long-time fan/follower you're probably wondering WTF is with "Tiny donut"?! That's an odd title isn't it?! Well... this track's title "Tiny donut" stems from a rather annoying conversation I had with a well-known peer of mine in the music industry at a recent gathering/event at Universal studios here in Los Angeles. I should point out that the majority of my peers in the industry do not post any of their song materials on streaming sites like this one.
That said, this "peer" of mine suggested that by me doing so I'm turning myself into (and I quote) a "tiny donut in a box of bear claws". A statement which I found preposterous, a little stupid, and a little arrogant all at the same time. Though I rarely let such things bother me if I'm honest. What he meant by his inane comment was he believes I'm diminishing my perceived fame in the eye of the public by posting my music online for public consumption, rather than confining it to Hollywood circles as most other industry composers do.
Since I'm aware that many industry people and other "peers" of mine in the music world play my tracks and read my little blurbs here or on Twitter etc.. I just wanted to say for the record that I think we ALL should be posting our tracks out on streaming sites for people to listen to, AND learn from. I spend a good portion of my time answering questions that come in through my website or on social media. That's not to say that I'm perfect, or have all the answers, but I've been around since the mid 90's so I've seen my share of changes, and learned a trick or two along the way which I'm always happy to share with any and all.
My point is it's a good idea if we the "professionals" never forget that knowledge is a wonderful thing, but it's only of any lasting value if it's passed on.
So... if me posting the tracks that I get permission to post online for people to enjoy and learn from makes me a "Tiny donut" in the eyes of some random people out there then so be it, that's perfectly fine by me! People in the industry know much better than that. I wouldn't insult them by thinking any of them feel that way. Well, except apparently one person, but I do appreciate him giving me the song title. cheers...

"Tiny donut" (Ciambella piccola) is what I call a hard rock soundscape, meaning it's got some hair swinging elements to its tone and vibe.
Enjoy... and as always, CRANK IT UP!!! Don't let the soft neo-classical style intro fool you, this is not a quiet piece by any means.
