Having played guitar since I was thirteen, I have been fascinated by the possibilities afforded by computer-driven recording and mixing for a long time. I began working with MIDI as a way of sketching out compositions and laying down accompaniment tracks for my early songs, but I have since developed my fluency with the technology considerably. My experience producing mockups working with the Vienna Symphonic Library since 2004 has educated me in coaxing a remarkably musically vital sound out of a computer. As audio technology continues to become more sophisticated, so will I continue to explore the possibilities created by its stimulating marriage with the art of music-making.
