Drums, Synths, & Long Walks on the Beach

**WOOT! WOOT!** I am happy to announce my solo EP "DRUMS, SYNTHS, & LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH" is finally available! Go check it out on iTunes! https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/drums-synths-long-walks-on/id1096985035

My personal description of genre is...Electronic-oriented, upbeat, fusion, smooth jazz and experimental instrumental music paired with virtuosic acoustic drum playing.  :)

As someone who has spent most of my time producing and engineering albums for other artists, as well as playing drums on projects for other artists and bands, (or teaching others how to do that for themselves) this album was written and recorded as a means to display my own (sometimes odd) personal tastes in music, as well as specifically have an opportunity to "show off" my drum chops in a way that would in many situations be considered overplaying or grandstanding.  Hope you enjoy!

Happy Ear Day!

This is an ear cake. Today was ear day in my acoustics class, and few things on earth deserve a cake and celebration when discussing them more than the ear. The more you learn about it's detailed inner workings the more you realize it is one of the most fascinating and awe-inspiring parts of life. Without going into too many specifics right now....the simple fact that minute pressure variations in the air (on the order of .0000003% of the atmospheric pressure that constantly surrounds us) can be turned into mechanical vibrations by three little bones and then get turned to electrical impulses by something that looks like a pea-sized seashell has the ability to make us tap our foot, bob our head, jump up and down, get goose bumps, and even weep from the shear beauty of how invisible waterfronts are strategically aligned (aka music) is something my brain will never be able to accept as anything other than magical and Divine. Happy ear day everyone! #EarCake
