Ambient producer and performer
I build places
out of sound.
I came up through LA's electronic underground, did sound design for Pixar's WALL-E, and recorded and co-produced Jon Hassell's final two albums. The Fourth World lineage runs through everything I make.

Ambient producer and performer
Bass guitar, Chapman Stick, and live electronics, under his own name. Carrying the Fourth World method forward.
Lineage
I recorded and co-produced Jon Hassell's last two albums, and played in his band through the 2010s. This music comes out of that decade.
On stage
The Fourth World project is being built for the stage: Jon Hassell's live language, carried forward by a player who spent a decade inside it.
Solo ambient sets on Chapman Stick, bass guitar, and live electronics are ready now. Promoters and festivals can reach me directly.
