I’ve been composing, arranging, and producing music for a long time. My main influences are fantasy video game music composers like Nobuo Uematsu, and orchestral film composers like John Williams to name two major ones (though listing all of my influences would be impractical). Sometimes I get involved in arranging/performing VGM (video game music) arrangements, but my main drive is to create original work. I also take an interest in music production technology and hardware, like synthesizers, mics and preamps, and kit building. Much of the hardware I use I built from kits.
