Non-musician ambient music creator.
I am perhaps the least musical of the mixters.

I have a great deal of fun. It’s amazing what one can do with a softsynth, freeware tools, the ability to read music, and a little hope.

My main analog instrument is a can-jo, if one discounts the nose flute, the autoharp, the mountain dulcimer, the kazoo and the variety of household items I also play. These find their way into my music, frequently as synthesizer voices.

I believe in the Creative Commons as part of a movement to share culture, and I license into the CC and use CC licensed material with fervor and pleasure.

I love to connect with collaborators, to put image to sound, sound to image, or words into orbit.


I live on the edge of the Texas prairie, 25 miles north of Dallas.

I record weirdbient music.
