Analog.

I make music the analog way: synthesizers, old lo-fi keyboards, the occasional vintage organ. I'm into anything with a character you can't just dial in.

Right now that mostly means funk and Stevie Wonder-style grooves, plus synth covers and remakes for social media, like Michael Jackson and Pink Floyd songs. Then there's the darker side: gritty synth stuff in the style of Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. I've got a few projects going at the same time, and nearly all of them have a synth in them.

My

Studio

My studio is my bedroom. No acoustic panels, no separate room – just a desk and enough gear to lose track of time. I record, mix and produce entirely in Logic Pro, with Dolby Atmos as a natural part of the workflow. The Behringer UMC 404 HD handles everything going in and out.

The setup revolves around the Behringer Poly D synthesizer, two BONTEMPI keyboards from the 70s and 80s, a Yamaha CSP 150 grand piano, Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro headphones and a SONY turntable that has no business being in a teenager's room. Analog in, analog out – as much as possible.
