MUSIC/ABOUT
Music has been a dominant and driving force for my entire life. From playing flute at age 9, to my first live performance on bass guitar at age 16, the spirit of sound took hold early on.
Over time I have expanded my list of instruments to include lap steel guitar, piano, synthesizers, vocalizations/singing, acoustic and electric drums, as well as recording, engineering, and producing.
ACTIVE PROJECTS, 2020
INSECT ARK : founder; bass, lap steel, electronics, synths since 2011
Insect Ark was started as my solo project, and is an instrumental experimental cinematic rock project, equally inspired by horror film soundtracks, metal, psych, and classical composers. Insect Ark tours frequently, usually as a duo with drummer Andy Patterson. We have eight published albums, EPs, cassettes and singles.
SWANS: bass, lap steel guitar, keyboards, touring/recording member as of 2020
GNAW: lap steel guitar, touring/recording member as of 2017
