About

I’m a solo studio musician. I make music because of the power it has to merge together and express the inner and outer qualities of human experience. And that’s difficult to convey by other means.

I’ve been playing and making music since the early 1970’s, much of that time using mainly electric and classical guitars.

Somewhere in the middle of that, I got a BFA in drawing and painting. But I always came back to music. Well, I’d never left it.

Eventually I began working with electronic sound sources, and starting recording some of it in 2002. None of it had been publicly released prior to July of 2018. My album ‘Walking on Roots Leaves No Trail‘ was the first collection of these tracks to be made available.

Here’s my thing: I listen. I meditate. And I create. But while meditation has been a large part of my process for many years, this is not ‘music for meditation’. Meditation creates focus, attention, and strips away the mental noise that obstructs the direct experience of the qualities of raw sounds.

You won’t often find me talking about all of this. That is, unless you overhear my wife (a composer) and I digging into music creation over coffee at our favorite diner.

This is electronic instrumental music. This music is probably most at home mingling with the likes of Brian Eno, Jon Hassell, Harold Budd, Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Sylvian, and Holger Czukay.

I’d love to hear from you if my music touches your inner life in any way.
