About me

Since 2016, I have been focused primarily on composing musical engines and ecosystems that provide both the performer and the listener with a unique sonic experience 😃. My goal, both as an artist and educator, is to nuture and enhance personal musical relationships. Outside of music, I am a professional front-end web developer who specializes in responsive design. I love ❤ World of Warcraft, making videos for my YouTube channel, and hanging out with my dog 🐶 Fillmore. If you're not on mobile, you can learn more about me by unmuting my interview above.

Accessible & Interactive

From music for games to contemporary concert music, I write in a myriad of different styles depending on the occasion. My hallmarks as a composer are interactive web-based composition, and free-but-deliberately-spaced notation. The most unifying attribute behind all my music is accessibility. I always strive for my music to be an activity in a time where music is mostly consumed passively. Check out my complete portfolio by clicking below 😀!
