As I pay more attention to publishing on this website as opposed to other platforms around the interwebs, I wanted to share its purpose and what I intend to do with it. This website is the online digital portfolio and archive of my creative work in music, audio, video, and writing. As of this writing, there is only a fraction of my work presented here, but I plan to continue to archive the lion’s share of it over time. In addition to the archives, I have published several podcasts over the years that can be found here.

As a teenager in the 1980s I began playing around with cassette recorders (like the one in the image to the right), which led to my love of home recording. Over the years, even as I was exposed to more professional studios, I maintained a home studio using whatever equipment I could afford. In my various studio configurations, I recorded my own music, recordings for other artists, concerts that I produced, and podcasts. I’ve maintained an extensive digital archive of this work that dates back to the early 1990s, and I will be presenting selections through this website.

Though never professionally, and to a much lesser extent than audio production, I’ve enjoyed writing (non-fiction and fiction), and producing video. Both of these media have typically complemented my music, but in some cases, the work has stood on its own. I hope to also archive some of these items here, as well as maintaining an ongoing blog with musings about music and general culture. You can subscribe to a newsletter here to receive periodic updates about what I publish on this website.
