About Me

I'm a solo artist currently working from East Hartford, Connecticut. My musical tastes and inspirations come from many sources, ranging from rock to classical to jazz and many, many others. I am interested in musical composition, creative sound design and sonic sculpture, and of course passionate performance.Almost of my music is created using Propellerhead's Reason. Songs are fine tuned in Mackie's Tracktion, and performed with the aid of Plogue Bidule. I use a fairly complicated laptop based setup for live performances so I can get a large variety of sounds and textures, beyond that of a standard guitar pedal.
