- No Comments
The moment when you knew you wanted to be a musician:
ooooof…dunno. but it began to feel like a thing when some friends and I formed a band in high school to play songs I was writing.
An important skill for a career in music that does not have anything to do with an instrument or making music:
so many these days – we all have to wear so many hats! Project management, communications, financial planning…
Two ways you stay motivated:
i don’t have any system in place or have any external motivators….music is just so much part of my everyday….and my mind is always just racing
Latest Project:
becoming in shadows ~ of being touched – released in April on Whited Sepulchre records.
What inspired it:
Daily practice actually heheehehe I was at the Banff Centre and my morning warm up was piano improvisations. That became the heart of this really weird work.
Who’s on it:
Myself, Mauro Zannoli, and the algorithm I created sad(john).low
How do you discover new music?
I listen to podcasts and radio shows, I get lost in app recommendations and follow genre histories, I go to live shows frequently, I have lots of friends with whom I share listening suggestions…
One living and one dead musician that deserves more attention:
Dead: Noah Creshevsky
