Three years ago my father passed away. He and my mother were married for 49 years - they just missed their 50th anniversary by a few months. She immediately declined into dementia, brought on by heartbreak and grief. I had just met the love of my life, and I would have been lost during this time if it were not for her. She helped me survive the absolute worst parts of losing my parents with seemingly unlimited patience, strength, and kindness.
All of these songs were born from singular, unique moments: either from an instance of overwhelming grief or distress, from hopelessness or frustration, to the strength and the protection of the love that I found in my wife. They are all vignettes - snapshots of very specific moments on the very worst, and very best, days of my life.
I have a rich musical career spanning more than 30 years including previous bands, studio session work, video game soundtracks, commercial scores, film project scores, and general late night noise making. I’m an award winning composer and a gear nerd.
Music Then and Now
I was in a band in the 90’s with friends from high school that got signed to a Seattle label. We released a few records, spent a few years on the road, and made a ton of friends. It was an amazing experience that’s definitely one of the best parts of my life.
Tours took me to nearly every state in the US and bolstered my love of traveling, which I’ve continued throughout my entire adult life.
I am still actively involved in the music scene, just from the comfort of my own home. I still go see old friends in their new bands, but most of the music I make never leaves my office. I do freelance for the occasional film project or commercial score, but most of my time is spent making experimental music with my guitars, pedal steel, synths, and software.
