I write short stories consisting of suspense, horror, thriller, and sci-fi themes. I produce a combination of live and electronic pieces, all instrumental in nature. Most of my music has a dark, moody tone, preferably for a soundtrack use.
Many works are inspired by Akira Yamoka (known for Silent Hill game OST's). Other influences include Daniel Licht Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmerman, and various artists of the Resident Evil game series. 
Every one of my albums has its own direction and particular sound, but overall they are designed to create a certain mood and atmosphere. I'm a drummer and have no official musical training, so i go by instinct with chord progressions, creating with much trial-and-error.
