Songwriter/producer for 2 decades and music software developer for 1 decade.

My purpose and the purpose of my music software company Soniare is "To courageously connect with and embody the universe's infinite potential, enabling us to share a reality that is vibrant, flexible, and full of joy; a space where minds grow, spirits soar, and hearts are filled with celebration."

To do that we created Beat DJ. A tool that allows for microtonality, live improvisation, and flow-state creativity.

Always playing with machines... 

NEW 5 TRACK EP "BEHIND US" OUT... soon.

I have wanted to create music for a very long time but with no real beat knowledge or instrument ability I purchased a little Dirtywave M8 to start... having no tracker history at all either I jumped in head first. it's been a deep dive and I'm forever learning but I'm having so much fun whilst doing so.

recently adding the amazing torso electronics s-4 has opened up a whole new sound stage...

here are a few of my songs/tunes I've made so far...

An intimate frontier.  A melody lost on waking.  A memory from childhood.  A hope for forgiveness.  A season ended.  A photograph of a moment you don’t remember.  A treasured object found and lost.  A thought interrupted.  A mirror in an empty room.  The dust of an evening.  An incomplete equation.  A discussion with possibility.  A missing adversary.  My impression from our last meeting.

Incidental Music For Eyelid Movies (IMforEM). That's the style of music I write and record. It's music to be watched with your eyes closed.

When I was 14 and trying to learn to play guitar no one told me about A440 tuning. I knew how to tune the guitar string to string, but wasn't aware that records and what I heard on the radio had a standard. I soon became frustrated trying to play along with what I heard and began making up my own music. Still at it.
