Bio
I started producing music on the laptop after I began attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2004. I am also an avid painter, video grapher, and writer of fiction and poetry. I began making music as an extension of my painting practice, because I feel that it is the purest most abstract form of art there is. I have produced AT LEAST one track a week for the past 5 years, and I have developed a real addiction to composing on the laptop.
Favorite Lyric
Those who have suffered, understand suffering, and thereby extend their hand. The storm that brings harm also makes fertile. Blessed is the grass and herb and the true thorn and light.

How I Work With Others
Overview
I really work alone. I will gladly take any thing anyone wants me to remix or embellish. Like wise, if some one wishes for me to send them a work in progress, or aborted track, I am open to that. Since I began working alone, and haven't found anyone in my immediate community who shares the same philosophy about electronic music, my practice is quite hermetic, and I don't know how exactly I would go about making music with someone else live, unless it involves Djembe or didgeridoo. I am interested in meeting people, making connections outside of myspace and my immediate circle of friends, and getting signed to a label and/or starting one with a serious group of people.
Experience
I interned at the Experimental Sound Studio in Chicago in 2007, and studied in the sound department at the School of The Art Institute of Chicago from 2006-2008.
