Taking myself too seriously since 1996.
I make things.
I've released numerous music CDs, sample libraries, and contributed sound design and presets to several commercial instruments.
My music can be heard on nationally-syndicated shows like 'Echos' and 'Hearts of Space', National Public Radio (NPR), Public Radio International (PRI) and satellite radio. I've written music professionally for a number of corporate clients (Titlest, Mead, Northrup, others...)
I'm also a graphic designer, or, at least, I earn a living as one. I have created the graphical user interface and product design for a number of award-winning professional audio applications, plug-ins and virtual instruments such as Digital Performer and Volta. I also make product packaging.
I'm heavily-involved in the monome community, and have created a number of applications for the platform including polygomé, press cafe, and others.
I hold a degree in film music composition and music synthesis from Berklee College of Music. Hire me!
Photography is a hobby with some spillover into my professional life. I'm a Canon dSLR nerd. iPhoto tells me I drop the shutter about 10,000 times a year, on average.
I'm into synthesis. I like digital software and analog hardware. Since software doesn't take up physical space, my studio is dominated by analog.
My first computer was a Lisa in 1983. Shortly after, I got an original 128k Mac. I've been using Macs ever since.
