Songwriter, Arranger, Sound Designer, Etc.
Preface
Throughout my life I have played with music-making tools like drum machines, keyboards, samplers, guitars and any other devices which could be sequenced together to form an ensemble that could play my flea circus compositions. As a multi-instrumentalist, this has been my private way of exploring the harmonic relationships of ensemble instruments, and ultimately this practice comprises my own songwriting sketchpad.
As time has progressed I have been fortunate enough to have grown this skill into a means of getting my own compositions out into the public via indie films, radio spots, and bumper music. This page is designed to be a sampling of some of my works. Many are pretty old and technically raw- but I love showcasing these old bits to show that the sound of the day is just that- a snapshot in time as painted by the tools of that time. Beyond that- what makes a tune stand on it’s own is ultimately the arrangement. Whether working on 30 or 60 second radio spots, sync music for TV and/or film, or sound design as a score or just M&E- the arrangement is everything.
