Bio:
I am just a guy that enjoys making music. I write all my stuff from scratch using FL Studio, and have more than 40 songs self-released over 3 CD's. Classically trained, but I just do what sounds good to me.

Thoughts on your experience participating in Silent Sci-Fi:
It was extremely difficult for me to watch the entire movie on mute! I kept wanting to unmute the movie so that I could hear what the various sound effects were like, but I just had to imagine it in my head. The  experience left me...cold? I also kept thinking about a great sci-fi book that's one of my favorites: Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon. That book gave me some similar emotions. I can't imagine the directors of the movie intended it, but to my special-effects-spoiled eyes, so much of the world of the movie was both simultaneously plain and fantastical. The result is music that has a metallic, robotic base, with an overlayment of vast wonder and a creeping sense of unease.

I'll be rebooting my Facebook and ReverbNation profiles in the next little while, so just search for me on there. I'm happy to give out most of my music for free.
