Artist description California techno hippie programs, produces, and channels frequencies up and down the Pacific Coastline. "I usually go to the middle of a redwood forest or the shore of the Pacific Ocean or to some other natural location for inspiration. I do everything on a souped up PC laptop...my "magic box". Most of my original melodies are conceived and produced in the back of my jeep, in my tent, in a secluded cabin, or a random cafe. Then I go back to my studio in San Francisco to complete the track.

Music Style Intelligent techno, melodic trance, progressive trance, space pop, and spoken word.

The success of this membership site provided me with a great deal of free time (for about a year). That's about the time when I decided to do what I've always wanted to do...make music. I bought some software and brought it back to my beach pad. The computer skills I had picked up over the past two years translated into my programming complex, original melodies without any hardware. Armed with my surfboard, laptop, rollerblades, and an automated income, I produced music full-time for a year. In 2000, I moved to San Francisco to find work as a web developer. Now I spend my free time camping out in the redwood forests of Northern California, collaborating with filmmakers, and making new tracks whenever I
