Piano party here. Analog synth melodies too. Ranging from ambient through neo-classical to evolving pop. Obsessed with sound and emotion.

I write and improvise tunes. The best of these make it onto albums you’ll find on Apple Music and Spotify and elsewhere.

Principles

01. —
improvisation

Creation on the razor’s edge of an instant in pursuit of these principles.

02. —
melody

Melody isn’t a thing to be feared, but embraced—so let it soar or bubble, but let it be.

03. —
minimalism

Who knows most, speaks least. (That is, one doesn’t know more by speaking more.)

04. —
Creation

The principle of creation is the principle of newness every day.

05. —
Beauty

There is beauty everywhere if we open our eyes to see.

Psalm 19

06. —
Consistency

I was obliged to work hard. Whoever is equally industrious will succeed just as well.
—J. S. Bach

Palette

01. —
Felted Piano

A Yamaha U1 upright treated with felt and leather provides the cornerstone of the studio.

02. —
Analog Synths

There’s something haunting in the analog signals of the Prophet and Moog synths.

03. —
ReED organ

A rescued and rebuilt Mason & Hamlin reed organ is equally good at drones and gentle melodies.

04. —
Drum Machines

The gentle pulse of 808 and 909 drum modules occasionally provide the backing track.

05. —
TAPE DELAY

Almost everything sounds better through the saturated natural warmth and sonic idiosyncrasies of tape delay.

06. —
EURORACK BLISS

Eurorack modules are easy to buy and sell and cheap to ship—the perfect recipe for constant evolution.

 
 
 

“I love improvisation...it's you. You're on. You've got to do it, and you either sink or swim with what you've got.”
