In 2001 I began making beats and hashing up samples in FruityLoops.Over the next few years I built up a collection of tracks ranging from trance to hip-hop. Most were mediocre, but a few I still draw influences from today.

In 2003, I started playing guitar and took lessons for about two years. In 2004, I took a MIDI composition class in high school, and was exposed to more powerful DAWs like Logic. I continued into the advanced MIDI class and even sat in on the class after I had taken it.

Around 2006 I was introduced to the world or circuit bending, and have "bent" a handful of toy keyboards. Later that year I began attending the University of Hartford majoring in Audio Engineering Technology. There I learned the arts of recording, mixing, mastering, as well as taking courses in Csound and acoustics. While attending college I occasionally produced songs in the relatively new Ableton Live. I was instantly drawn to the intuitive features of Live and have been using it almost exclusively since 2006.

Ever since I had began school I never had the proper amount of time to devote to music production, so once I graduated in May 2010 I quickly got back into record mode. Most of the tracks I produce do not fit well into genres or labels, as I tend to blend various elements of different styles into a single piece of music. Enjoy & let me know what you think!



Expect more projects in the NEAR FUTURE!! ENJOY!!
