About Me

Welcome to my music page. The purpose of this page is to share my music with others and to get their feedback. I'd love to hear your comments - positive or negative. In fact, I prefer negative comments because they push me to create better music.The inspiration for the electronic music featured here is DJ Shadow and Four Tet. If you're not familiar with them, I highly recommend you check them out. This music is a blend of sampling and real instrumentation. As you can see, I am influenced by a myriad of musicians with completely different styles. My goal is not to create some haphazard mishmash, but to find within these disparate influences a common but original sound.99.999% of the day, I am a medical student. This leaves very little time for music. Actually, it leaves no time. Hopefully, I will be able to seriously devote myself to musical composition when I take a year off. Anyway, tell me what you think.

Welcome

So, as most of you know, I have been dabbling in music this summer.  Unfortunately, these 3 months are my only chance to really explore music since I will start up my second year at NU med again ...
