He holds two BA degrees: one in Music from The University of California at Santa Cruz, and a second in Film Scoring from The Berklee College of Music. In 2011, he earned a Master’s Degree in Composition from the California State University at Northridge. As part of Matter Music, he composed and arranged music for several projects in film and television. With his mentor David Cope, he studied generative algorithmic composition techniques, and is currently exploring the limits of artificial intelligence as it applies to multimedia expression. He plays piano, and endeavors to develop a strong aptitude for improvisation in several styles while honing his skills as an acoustical engineer. The spirit of his projects embrace the concept of inclusion, of breaking boundaries between artist and the audience. This is key to the success of new music in an increasingly interactive society.
