About Me


BASICS

I fool around with electronic musicmaking using a Nintendo Game Boy and the Little Sound DJ and Nanoloop homebrew software cartridges. I never know quite how seriously I'm taking it, and I alternate between exploring semi-abstract, more "serious," beat-driven songs, and shameless pop, sugar-sweet enough to make you puke.
