Hello, and thanks for taking the time to listen to my original music. To listen, click on the PLAY button next to the song title link (this feature uses the Yahoo media player - thanks, Yahoo!). To download the MP3 file, click on the actual song title link. Please feel free to download for personal use.

I have been making and recording music for many years and the songs here are examples of my mostly instrumental music. My recent music might be called "chill" or "trance" and uses loops and a musical collage approach to composition. I am an improviser by inclination and most of my compositions grow out of successful musical experiments. My music has been recorded on several generations of Tascam Portastudio cassette multi-track decks and I am currently using a Tascam 2488 digital portastudio (mostly as a mixer and effects platform), a Vista laptop running Acid Pro 7.0 as my DAW, Ableton Live 8 with an Akai APC-20 control surface, and an M-audio Fast Track Pro audio interface.

I play acoustic and electric guitar, electric bass, keyboards, drums, and percussion, and can also DJ/perform my electronic compositions. I am an eclectic performer and enjoy many different styles of music from acoustic folk to metal. I have a quick ear, a positive professional attitude, pro gear, and reliable transportation. I can provide musical entertainment for art openings, installations, and other creative gatherings. I am also interested in working with independent and experimental film makers. If you would like to hire me, distribute my music, collaborate, or jam, send me an email!
