If I cannot fly, let me sing.
It started with an upright Story & Clark piano that lived in the front room of my childhood home, the music rack always dusted in flakes of rosin. With putting on my most uncomfortable velveteen dress to sing in the church choir on Christmas Eve while my grandmother played the organ; in the scent of wax and the long shadows cast by candlelight. With making friends in grade school because music and creative writing attracted other misfits.
I'm a dabbler, a collector of vintage vinyl, avid concert-goer, and lifelong audio enthusiast. I started on keys and singing (always singing), later picked up guitar and cello. I have a home stuffed full of secondhand violins and XLR cables and scribbled-upon reams of staff paper. I make musical experiments with Logic and MIDI controllers in many shapes and sizes. There is no such thing as too many synths.
I'm honored to have been trusted with composing and performing music for all sorts of momentous occastions: weddings, funerals, retirement celebrations, New Year's Eve parties, community concert series. I have performed alongside the good folks of regional symphony orchestras, professional choirs, jazz bands, theater camps, string quartets, renaissance singers, and even a rock band. I have conducted choirs, ensembles, theatrical productions, and orchestras. I've gotten to create probably hundreds of compositions and arrangements and I've collaborated with other artists to perform those works.
I have long appreciated video games as a storytelling medium, and recently I have focused on the gratifying challenge of music composition and sound design for spatial computing and virtual reality experiences. I'm particularly interested in generative music systems, interactive audio design, and music that blends orchestral textures with electronic soundscapes. I love telling stories with sound.
If you have a music project in mind, I'd love to hear about it. Let's connect.
