“Santhe” – Sonic Improvisation
This was today’s improvisation and thought I would share the live video. It starts with mellow vibes and turns into a wrangling of the electrons. I hope you enjoy!

“Tanseti” – Chill and Relaxing Rhodes and Nord Piece
I wrote this mood piece yesterday called “Tanseti”. It was originally written for piano but I decided to try on the Rhodes and Nord. The Rhodes sweetened it up and I decided to record a quick video to share. I hope you like it.
“Lapses” – New Improvised Piece – Video and Free Download
Today I released a new improvised piece called “Lapses”. This is a moody journey that relies on sonic development and manipulation to create a “scene”. Sometimes when improvising with these instruments it feels like I’m on a ride – this was certainly the case for this one. Headphones or good speakers are highly recommended for this one. I hope you like it!
You can download the recording for free here:
The sounds used on this piece were created by the Moog Mother-32, Nord Lead2 and Fender Rhodes.
Obsintha – Improvisation with Nord Lead 2, Rhodes, Moog Mother-32
Today I was improvising with three of my old inanimate friends and thought I would share the result. The red keyboard on the top is called a Nord Lead 2 and I’ve probably had it since the year 2000. The little black synth sitting on top of that is called a Moog Mother-32 and I used it for the bass sounds by playing the keyboard in the middle. The bottom instrument is an 88-key Fender Rhodes.
I hope you like it!
Downtempo Synth and Piano Remix of Claws
Since I had the stems to Charli XCX’s “Claws” I used them to experiment with some emo chords with synths and pianos to create a downtempo version. You can download it for free here…

New Music – “Seens”
I released new music today. For the past few months I’ve been in a deep dive into the world of sound design and synthesis. It’s pretty overwhelming but I thought I would share a song I made a few days ago while learning some new equipment.
This one took a cinematic turn as I was improvising over the original chord progression. I hope you enjoy!
