About Me

Well this is just a myspace for pretty much what I do (as opposed to what I do with everyone else), I just go with what feels right and hopefully fresh. Is the act of looking for a synthesis of everything I like enough to create one? I'm also available for sessions, tuition and production---feel free to contact me.
