Ramune, my favorite drink, inspired me to compose this song. If you don’t know, Ramune is a Japanese carbonated soda that comes in a bottle, and at the top of the bottle is a marble. To open the bottle you must push the marble down into the neck of the bottle where it rattles around while drinking. I love the taste of Ramune and they are fun to drink. I composed this song with the intention to capture that experience. Nipponophiles, drink your heart out. Read More…

I composed the track, “Romanticizer” with bass and vocals in mind. I also challenged myself to purposely make the vocals repetitive and to actually be part of the beat while still attempting to maintain contrast and freshness to the track. Enjoy. Read More…

My second track reflecting the 8-bit genre. I do not create my tracks on an 8-bit console but my tracks are composed in the spirit of the 8-bit music genre. I don’t feel the need to limit such beautiful sounds to one medium of instrumentation. Enjoy! Read More…

Concrete music vs. modern arrangement and remixing. I use many natural field recordings and slice and dice them to create a meticulous rhythm and beat. Read More…
Lately, I have been composing tracks that fall into the “Musique concrete” genre. Concrete music is music created with “real world” sounds, natural environmental sounds, and other noises that are not inherently musical. I love composing with “real world” sounds, because for me, it reflects the rhythm and heartbeat of our every day lives, our routines, movement etc… I started composing with […] Read More…

train Sep 16, 2008
On my way to work I got stopped at a railroad crossing. This is the recording I took of the train going by. It is quite intense. If you listen to the whole thing you will hear a lot of metal scraping and screeching sounds. I thought the train was going to derail. Recorded in Rockford, Illinois with an H2 Zoom. Read More…
