about

Over the past two years I've enjoyed learning about audio engineering, synthesis, sound design, and various facets of electronic music. I've been heavily influenced by ambient and new-classical electronic musicians, from Brian Eno and Suzanne Ciani to the infinite variety of current music makers.

I've had limitless fun using MIDI devices and digital instruments in Ableton Live to create musical environments inspired by nature and life in the city. Some deep over-thinking of my personal music-making process inspired me to develop a system of generative music, so that I could focus on instrumentation, space, and character, instead of writing pitches and rhythms. Each piece of music on this album was generated from sets of rules determining things like pitch, rhythm, etc. using elements of chance and randomness, so that every performance generates a unique musical output.

As the musical director of sorts, when I perform this music I can't anticipate exactly what will be generated, which makes performing so exciting to me! It feels like a duet between myself and the computer - except I also programmed the computer, I guess.

I like listening to these recordings while I'm out on a walk, or cooking dinner at home, or taking time to process the events of the day. I hope you can use this music to take a moment for yourself, to motivate you through the day, or to open your mind to the things that might seem mundane.
