ABOUT
I'm a Seattle native who moved to Tennessee. I play piano and synthesizer, program, sample, and sing. I've written over two hundred compositions in the last four years, and my music has been featured in feature films. I taught a audio post-production seminar for the Northwest Film Forum, and was until a year ago head engineer at Swingset Film and Audio in Seattle, WA.

Influences
I have been greatly influenced by classical music, though I have a fondness for neo-classical like Glass and Arvo Part. Electronic music has also been a great influence, and I grew up listening to Orbital, Aphex Twin, Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Enigma, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Tyhe Machines of Loving Grace, Die Warzau, Underworld, Moby, The Future Sounds of London, Massive Attack, Pop Will Eat Itself, Prick, Oingo Boingo, Beck, Mark Bell and Bjork, Einsturzende Neubauten, Diamanda Galas, My Life With the Thrill Kill Cult, The Crystal Method, The Dust Brothers, DJ Shadow, and even Enya. Rock and otherwise I have been shaped by Fleetwood Mac, CSNY, Pantera, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Jeff Buckley, U2, and many more that I can't count here.
