Over the past fifteen years or so, I've been composing and recording original electronic music, an enduring interest of mine dating back to high school. It's a wide-open format that gives me a chance to incorporate all my interests and influences, which, in addition to jazz, include electronica, progressive rock, atonal textures, African polyrhythms, and South Indian rhythms. I also get to design the sounds themselves, then build my compositions around them.

 

The Anschell Electro Sampler has two tracks from each of my five projects to date, from newest to oldest. Beneath the sampler you'll find the five full projects--two on labels, two self-released, and one podcast score. The most recent--Improbable Solutions--is also on my main music page, because it combines acoustic jazz instruments with electronic sounds; the culmination of a long process. "Forgotten Prison" is a set of tracks from the podcast I scored for KNKX's excellent series of the same name. From more than 20 pieces featured on the podcast, I've chosen my 10 favorites. The "Forgotten Prison" tracks aren't for sale, but--as with all the other tracks--you can listen to them in their entirety for free.
