My music

First, thank you for your interest in my musical journey and explorations. I'm an Ambient Electronic music composer, living in Texas, USA. I've been interested in making music for most of my life and decided to begin pursuing it professionally in 2005. In 2010, I released my debut CD, A Distant Light, to critical acclaim, followed by The Farthest Fringes, a significant milestone in my growth as a composer and sound designer and, then, Phase Shift, my third release and my first explorations into long form soundscapes. I suppose there is always some trepidation when sharing something that is deeply personal to oneself, but I've made the decision to share my musical journey with the world, because it brings me great joy to do so. That anyone else should find my work engaging is, indeed, a very great honor. The process of creating music is immensely spiritually rewarding for me and it will long remain a necessary method of my attempts at purging my demons, expressing my emotions and taking the listener on a journey on which they've never been. I sincerely thank you for your interest in my journey.

 

Enjoy and let me know what you think!
