Media composer, performing musician and Live Looping artist. I compose and produce recordings for media post production, typically to be used in television, film, games, and work together with a number of production music libraries that handle the licensing. This SoundCloud account always mirrors the last three hours of my growing production music catalogue. When I compose and produce soundtrack music exclusively for specific films these tracks do not show up here until the movie has been publically released. I'm also a dedicated Live Looping enthusiast. Live Looping is the act of instantly sampling and remixing oneself while playing acoustic/electric instruments. It's like performing live electronics without any prerecorded parts, like Musique concrète performed in realtime (rather than cutting and splicing audio tape as it once started at IRCAM). My point is to create the music as I go - pretty much improvising sound as well as music and remix treatments in a process of Instant Composition. I think Live Looping can bridge the gap between composer, conductor, musician, DJ and remix artist. Besides patching live electronics I also play fretless Harp Guitar, Chapman Stick, Alto Flute, Tenor Sax, EWI and electric Cello. I tend to consider the whole shebang my "meta-instrument"; mechanical instruments and knowledge of electronic processing techniques all blur into one fat and messy palette that I use to paint music on the time canvas.
