I’ve been writing, recording, and performing music for over 25 years. My experience spans creating primitive multitrack recordings as a child, to atonal orchestral and piano pieces as a composition student, to synthesizer-based soundtracks for corporate multimedia, with a whole lot in-between.
I’ve composed music for live theater, using real and sampled instruments, sound effects and sound manipulation; the plays I’ve worked on include the 2000 production of “Henceforward” in San Francisco. As a jazz accompanist, I use a bass-and-chord guitar style to create a solid ‘rhythm section’ foundation, while striving to maintain an understated, responsive quality.
I’ve performed venues including The Seattle Peace Concerts, The Weathered Wall (Seattle), WOW Hall (Eugene, OR), The Make Out Room (San Francisco), and The Freight and Salvage (Berkeley). I have opened for acts including Roy Rogers and Norton Buffalo, Pele Juju, and Tuck and Patti.
