Artist Statement

Coming from a background rooted in the realm of band dynamics and traditional music, I wanted to delve deeper into the conceptual nature of sound and explore different subjects through a wider palette of sonic possibilities.

From the exploration of the quirky through the visceral nature of sound to more straightforward musical compositions, I find myself questioning the interactive nature of the listener and his aspect as a passive observer or active collaborator.

I mostly like to work collaboratively as the interdisciplinary dialogue that it creates forms pockets of discussion transcending mediums.
