"Making music every day, trying to understand my place in the world through creativity."

I make music using my main instrument violin. I've been playing violin for over 20 years now, and for the last few years have been trying to push the boundaries of what sort of sounds I can create using my instrument. You might not realise this but 95% of the sounds in my songs are actually all made with violins, usually warped and manipulated through ableton, fx pedals and recording to sound like synths, guitars and other instruments. Other elements I include in my music are drums, bass, synth bass and vocals, keeping a limitation on how many instruments I can include forces me to get creative with violin and go back to basics.

For the last 2 years I've been recording an album, and now it's time to share that: this collection of songs is the reflection of how I view the world, and my inner most thoughts and feelings. Much like reflections the ideas are a bit distorted and rippled; they can be interpreted a few different ways depending on your perspective and how you see the reflection coming back at you. But I believe these songs are the truest representation of me and how I my life sits within the world. It's up to you to understand them how you like and hopefully you will find some meaning and similarities between my life and yours.
