Bought a computer. Bought a guitar. Sold some stuff. Bought some software. Made music. There you go.

THE WHOLE BANANA:

In 1998 in El Paso, TX, I began modestly with some friends by forming the band SLEX, playing an eclectic brew of hardcore guitar with dance-beat style live drums. Soon after, we began to play a lighter, more melodic blend of rock and metal, calling ourselves AISLING.

Around the same time, I began to become increasingly intrigued by IDM, and began digging deeply into the endlessly surprising world of electronic music.

We carried AISLING decently far, sharing stages with wonderful artists such as DREDG and CODESEVEN, and recording an EP with producer Steve Kravac, who has worked with Tsunami Bomb, MXPX, and Blink 182, to scratch the surface.

After leaving Aisling, I have begun to exclusively pursue my love of all things digital.

I began remastering and tweaking several songs I had written over the years, and also worked on new material to create a buffer of music from which I could begin weaving an album, in several songs drawing on my background in guitar to add that "human touch". My focus on intricacy of melody versus rhythm, combined with a rock-like song structure allows me to continually challenge myself. Not one to use preset sounds, I prefer to create my own patches and instrumentation and effect samples beyond recognition, with very few exceptions.

With an increasing interest in sampling and naturally occurring aural textures, the future can only bring more intricate and engaging results...
