ABOUT

I play guitar, bass, and sing.
In an effort not to over or under sell my ability:

Looking for musicians to jam with, bounce ideas off of, write original music, collaborate on projects, record, play shows, learn from, etc...
I'm open to just about anything, so long as the music and musicians are quality.

The last year or so I've been learning to use Ableton Live 9, record, mix, use various plugins, and develop my ear.
