Movement, texture, color and atmosphere are all important elements for me to convey through my compositions. If I can use sounds to create a place that the listener can disappear into, I have succeeded. I want to create music to make you feel what it is to be human. Music for connection. I want listeners to be carried from one place to another within their own minds; to have a sense of movement, so that they feel different at the end of the piece then at the beginning. 

 

I like to use unexpected combinations of sounds or subject matter to take listeners on a journey. In my electronic works I use field recordings, fixed media and spoken narratives with synthesized sounds to do this. For both my electronic and instrumental works, I create pieces and their structure based on the sound of the instrument or field recording, looking for ways to create a texture, sound map or color field.

 

So much of music is consumed online, rather than through in-person concerts (especially during and because of COVID) and I am looking at ways to create pieces that work despite not being live. I'm interested in combining listening experiences with visual experiences, experiences in nature, and experiences through installations. I think that how or where one listens to music can change one’s perception of a space or situation. For instance looking at a piece of visual art and listening to music at the same time creates a third space that can't be achieved with one or the other on its own.

You can listen to pieces that I've been working on through my Soundcloud page.
