ALL ANALOG...NO DISCUSSION...

These tracks are mostly clients I've recorded in the studio and sometimes at live shows - while doing the House Mix.  I did not record my early band "Clear Logic", but played guitar and keyboards full-time.  I recorded and played on "Lunatech" tracks- which are Brian Hutchison compositions with him singing/playing/programming most of the instruments and me playing guitar sometimes.
  
I played in touring bands for several years, then went back to college to get a Bachelor of Music degree (composition and arranging) from Cornish College of the Arts.  Upon graduating I knew I would rather record other people playing music and hopefully capturing their magic moments.  From then on I put all my efforts into that and mostly quit playing my own music.  Ever since I was a kid I listened for both the emotional and production aspects of music, and it was my favorite thing to do.  I was just as interested in instrument/voice timbre/blend as well as what feeling was being conveyed.

"Your City Sleeps has become one of the area's most ambitious ambient-music makers, with a highly advanced skill for generating tenebrous atmospheres and dramatic, post–Blade Runner soundscapes. In appearance, (he) bears a striking resemblance to late-'60s Vangelis, and some of his compositions approach that legendary keyboardist's for unusual timbres and atmospheric grandeur. With great attention to detail, Your City Sleeps offers an unconventionally beautiful, superior way to chill." -Dave Segal, The Stranger
