Music has always played an important role in Doug's life, as he was called to it at a very early age. He showed musical interest at age three and began piano lessons at the age of six. He had some wonderful teachers in contemporary, jazz and classical styles of music.
He began composing songs while in high school and then went to Berklee College of Music in Boston on a partial scholarship to study songwriting, commercial arranging, and jazz. He helped put himself through school by doing solo piano gigs at local bars, restaurants, hotels and Boston's Faneuil Hall. Because of his composing skills, he gained a lot of studio experience at Berklee.
Doug has always enjoyed the recording and production process and later decided to open his own project studio and production company, Dreamworld Productions. His company grew and later included his wife Emmanuelle's graphic design talents, which now became Dreamworld Productions and Design. They moved north of Boston and built and opened a larger studio in 2000 which includes a Schimmel concert grand piano.
Doug has worked on a variety of projects including albums, jingles, soundtracks for film, TV, and radio, and music for corporate events. He has produced countless local artists in many different styles, including cabaret, pop, rock, folk, jazz, R & B, African, and classical.
At the end of 2007, Doug released his debut solo piano album, Solace. He then released Baby Music 1 and Baby Music 2 which are 78 minute solo piano improvisations created for the births of his two sons. In 2008 Doug released Noel, a solo piano Christmas album which includes original arrangements to many Christmas standards, as well as a new original Christmas song. In 2010 he released 75 Labels, a Guatemalan film score featuring marimba and accordion. In 2011 he released Travels, a double album featuring 39 new original piano compositions. Personal and intimate, it tells a story of past, present, and future, of places seen and places only in dreams. Travels won 2011 Album of the Year on Whisperings Solo Piano Radio. It also won Album of the Month for November 2011 on ReviewsNewAge.com. It was also nominated for Album of the Year by SoloPiano.com and ReviewsNewAge.com.

This song is beautiful. It doesn’t remind me of any sadness, it only makes me think of all the friends I’ve made, all the smiles I’ve shared, and the joy of life, getting to see another day. It’s breathtaking.

This song is the MOST beautiful song I've EVER heard! Hats off to you, Doug Hammer. I listen to "classical radio" on Pandora all the time while I study & read and it works really well! I can work 12 hours straight and not even notice! However, whenever this song comes on, I get paralyzed and can do nothing but close my eyes and smile while my head sways back and forth. Well done, and I look forward to the rest of your career!

I don't know about you guys, but I definitely cried when I heard this. Close your eyes and imagine your struggles flying through the clouds on angle wings-- colorful rays of sunshine pouring through the billowing ribbons of clouds. There is no way you don't feel the lifting sensation.

I did this at work. Now my co-workers are looking at me strange. Love this song though.

Pretty much every comment I've read says that this is a depressing song to them. Makes them think of past loves and hardships.
For me, it's tranquil. Doesn't make me think of anything except scenes of nature and good mellow moments with my wife. Maybe even a few fall memories from childhood. Very happy thoughts.
Doug Hammer
You got the intent of the song mopey!
Heather DeSalvo
Same here!

Such natural beauty found in this piece. The chord progressions never cease to give me goosebumps and bring tears to my eyes. Such power and feeling in this piece. One of my favorites of all time.

This reminds me of the small joys in life - sunsets, clean sheets, graphite pencils, that sort of thing. It's an absolutely gorgeous melody.

This song is gonna get me through college! I play this at least once during my all nighters.. I love waiting till 4:34 when it picks up again and I rediscover my motivation
