Artist History Began playing keyboards and bass during high school and jammed informally with different bands back in Rhode Island. Growing tired of playing jam-rock and classic rock, my interest in electronic music peaked in the mid-1990's and soon I bought my first synthesizer, and eventually a sequencer. Two years ago, I moved to Dayton, OH, to enroll in the industrial/organizational Ph.D. psychology program at Wright State University. Then came my first Mac and I haven't looked back since... When moving here, I was fortunate to become good friends with another mp3.com artist by the name of Craig Stansifer (craig_s.), who has helped me out tremendously in becoming more of a software-based artist, and he has also influenced my sound by introducing me to various idm and "microsound", artists, and this is evident during fleeting moments in some of my songs. His influence more than anything, however, has helped minimalize my sound to a happy medium between melody and background rhythm. I hope to be able to balance music and school for now and continue to expand my horizons in the music I make.
