Mastering
Polishing your mix to shine with space, depth, and presence, bringing your vision to life.
Ambient
Through layered synthesizers and evolving textures, I create immersive sonic experiences that evolve organically, moving through stillness with subtle shifts and wide-open energy. This approach has been shaped by many years of working for Hemi-Sync, where I discovered how sound can function as a tool for relaxation, focus, and introspection. Whether you're seeking a way to get into a flow state, explore the deeper recesses of your mind, or escape from it entirely, these pieces offer a soundtrack for any mood.Rather than rush toward a destination, this music invites you to slow down and take the scenic route. My latest release, Galilean Moons, explores the majesty of Jupiter’s largest natural satellites, each track a passage through time and space, crafted for deep reflection or quiet presence.Below are some of the previous projects that I’ve composed for.
Rock
Though my focus has shifted towards ambient work, rock remains an essential part of my musical foundation. My latest album, Be Easy (2024), blends the energy of my previous two albums, pulling together the styles I’ve explored along the way—blending the raw, groove-based jams of Virginia Slim Comes Riding In (2022) with the more subtle, introspective, acoustic energy explored on New Dystopia (2020).
Mastering
Through over a decade of experience with Hemi-Sync, I’ve honed my ear for detail and precision, mastering music and audio that is deeply immersive and carefully crafted to guide listeners through meditative and transformative experiences. The work I do in this realm requires an acute focus on sonic clarity, where even the slightest distraction can take the listener out of the moment. This attention to detail extends to all the mastering work I take on, ensuring that each track sounds its best, no matter the medium or listening environment.I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of talented artists across various genres. Previous clients include Ali Angel, Avid Dancer, Daniel Bachman, Tyler Ballgame, Cecilia Castleman, Will Fox, Howler Honey, Ryan Pollie, and more.
