I am a visual artist- a painter, that has also been actively making music for more than 20 years. I create music like a painting: layering textures, phrases, color, rhythm, and tone for what I think of as sonic paintings and drawings. Also collaborated with Angie Drakopoulos on the video/sound installations "Mythograph" and "Aurorasis" exhibited in New York and Paris. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
