I do a lot of sample-based audio compositions using obscure elements such as found sound, abandoned record albums, surreptitious guerilla field recordings made on my marantz handHeld and public domain multimedia....

...then I write new arrangements and musical parts on the bass, cello, guitar, keys, vox and computer.

I've also had a lot of bands and recording projects over the years, written a lot of songs in a variety of styles: rock & roll, power pop, exotica & lounge, old (pre-1970s) country...it really depends on what's on the turntable.

Highly original, quality sounds - give 'em a listen.
