Multimedia journalist covering courts for the Evansville Courier & Press - writer - dad - music fan   EVANSVILLE, IN

i play my little guitars and put the drum beat on the computer and music happens idk so weird

I write mostly instrumental music across multiple genres — surf, spaghetti western, spy, krautrock, giallo, exotica, new wave, electronic, hauntology, post-punk, disco, even jazz — all with (what I hope is) a retro and/or cinematic vibe. Enjoy!

SPIROPA has been my lockdown GarageBand project where I've attempted to mimic the style of some of my favourite bands, tunes and grooves.

The 'Motorik' EP has been created to compliment the title track which is now available to subscribers on the Castles In Space 'Participation Vol 1’ album.
