The secret of being boring is to say everything.

About Me

I’m a pianist that lives in Louisville, KY. These are random personal recordings of stuff that I’ve written. Forgive the less-than-professional quality of the older piano recordings. I’m also into making beats and electronic music. If you like what you hear, send me a dollar in the mail.
Junk Head -- Beats made from various things being struck, such as paint cans, pipes, glass, and such. 7/8 hip-hop drum and bass segueing into junkie breakbeat and back again.
The Sleeptalkers -- The first project I mixed and mastered. I think it turned out pretty good. My band Paradigm also plays this tune.
Prelude to Punk Fury -- An older recording, experimenting with 5 beat phrases against 4 beat phrases in the first section. Definitely Ginastera-influenced. I used to have a ton of personal recordings of piano pieces I’ve written, but then my hard drive crashed. This one and "Magpie" are all that’s left.
Magpie -- Another older recording, and the first movement of a piano sonata. Full title is "Magpie, the Wife I Built Out of Pine Cones and Mud."
