Artist Statement

As a composer and musician I start most sentences with “I wonder if….”

I am a facilitator of conversation, a curator of experience, an investigator of the natural world and weaver of sound and story. I am a musical bee keeper of transcendental sonic portals that transport listeners to alternate dimensions. 

My explorations in sound and music draw from the unlikely combination of folk, pop and chamber traditions. I create ecstatic spectacle (link to example), trance inducing mantra (link to example) and various forms of multi-media storytelling. (link to examples here)

When I am working with ensembles as a composer, producer or bandleader, I rely heavily on my passion for collaboration and communication. 

I am happiest when I am in the studio or on the dance floor or with my people (creative minds and generous hearts), discussing and creating work that is or seeks transcendent states of consciousness even if we land at mere self expression!

This is my life’s work. You can take a look at it (here) and listen to it (here)
