About Me

All music posted is recorded on a technics 2" reel to reel tape recorder, with audio buddy pre-amp, compressor, and sennhieser mics in a camo painted 'tuff-shed' with a swamp cooler in spicewood, tx. I am by no means an engineer, hence the crappy sound and the offbeats.Currently writing the score for the short film Levisomnum Satanas Lectus, titled after the name of my score, meaning "Lightly sleeping in the devil's bed". This is in affiliation with Broken Pancreas Productions out of Chicago.There is an independent film production company in Austin that has asked to make a music video of one of my songs with me in it. That project should begin around late September.
