Born and raised in Denver, I started playing in bands as a teenager with Patrick Park and Sera Cahoone. I then joined the Czars for a few albums, then quit to work on my own music. Sometimes it’s spacey, floaty, dreamy; other times it’s folky. I change according to my environment. My most recent workd have been a composition for 25 typists and 5 musicians presented a the Blemar Laboratory of Art and Ideas in Lakewood Colorado in September. I also appear on the Blossom half of Ron Miles’ Stone/Blossom album which was released by Sterling Circle Records in November 2006. It’s my finest recorded work. I am also working on a second solo album to follow-up last years self-titled debut. I feel lucky to have opened for / played with Sixteen Horsepower, Woven Hand, Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots, David Gray, Low, The Flaming Lips, Elf Power, Imperial Teen, Ron Miles, Violet Indiana, Hem, Devics, Joe Sampson, Porlolo, Patrick Park, Heirloom, Scout Niblet, Red Cloud, Cowhause / Janet Feder, Momen Terra, and probably a lot more I’m simply forgetting.
Over the years I’ve worked on numerous projects that dealt more with sound textures than with song writing. I have a deep interest in improvisational music as a result of mentors like the tumpeter Ron Miles who really opened this world up to me. I like a lot of ambient music and free improvisation, especially when it doesn’t sound improvised.
