About Me


hi there. my name is dirk and i'm livin' the coastal musician / waiter stereotype, which feels like it's working out, since music, food, and drink are my favorite indulgences.

i have a cozy home/mobile studio where i create music for film + television (currently providing music for chum/a-channel's 'the new canoe' on an ongoing basis) and where i record and mix music (currently working on lion thief 's record). i also play keyboards in lion thief - i think you should come to our next show.

i like meeting new people and making new friends, so introduce yourself if you haven't already.
