I am a composer, sound designer, hardware designer and programmer who is enthusiastic about gaming and game mods. I feel like gaming is the future of multimedia entertainment and the storytelling of today. I am especially interested in generative music and interactive music, that further immerses the user in the virtual world. I have built robots that compose music, data-driven algorithmic music, forward thinking electronica track, full symphonic works, multiple chamber works and have played in and composed for award-winning electro acoustic ensembles.

This is an electro-acoustic piece featuring a hacked Nintendo Entertainment System as the main instrument. As theme is passed around multiple 8 bit timbres until it coalesces into an organic string theme that unifies the piece.
This piece demonstrates an unusual approach to sound design, by combining very disparate textures into a single work. It also demonstrates string arrangement, counterpoint and 8-bit sound design.
