Musician / Composer

As a composer and multi-instrumentalist, my specialties are demonstrated in unusual and abrasive approach to playing the electric guitar. My production style, composition, and arrangements vary from project to project but my purest voice lives in a world of the pleasantly chaotic and unorthodoxically absurd. Having written all types of music from avant-garde, electronic ambient, classical, surf, rock and roll, harsh noise, dark wave, goth, and beyond, I feel at home in many compositional settings.
