I strive to create progressive electronic rock that is powerful, yet melodic, with a lot of moving parts. My music incorporates synthesized sounds, powerful bass and drums, along with heavy guitars. With digital audio workstations, software based instruments, software synthesizers and other technology, I try to create music that goes beyond what has been created in the past, while keeping it accessible to most listeners. Basically, I want the listener to say: "Wow, that is cool and different." I hope you enjoy my music.
Why this name?
It's my name.
Do you play live?
Not at this time.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has made it far easier to gain exposure for my music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure, I would consider that. That said, I think my music is particularly suited for film, video, commercials, television. For example, "Ignition" would work particularly well in a car commercial or extreme sports video, while "Trick or Treat" would make a great opening music for a television halloween special.
Your influences?
Perhaps the best way to describe my vision is a fusion of old instrumental Rush (e.g., "Hemispheres" or "2112") and synthesized Bach.
Favorite spot?
Aruba

Anything else...?
"Harmonic Propulsion" is my newest piece. In some respects, this piece, as well as "Trick or Treat", "Time-Space Continuum", "Interlockin'" "Surfing The Solar Winds", "Equilibrium" and "Frenetic Passage" come closest to my idea of incorporating heavy guitars with synthesized counterpoint.
