I am a Canadian  bass player, composer,arranger ,sound engineer and recording artist. My musical repertoire spans a diverse range of music. It combines elements of rock, orchestral, electronic synthesis and sound design to create imaginative and diverse music that blend together to enhance drama and develop distinctive and immersive music. By exploring textural devices to construct evocative and colourful musical compositions; I have developed a hybrid style that share some of the same esthetics and attention to a visual narrative that some of the new classical and electronic composers of today use.
