I started playing guitar about 30 years ago. A few years later, I picked up electric bass and played that in most bands I've been in with sometimes playing the Chapman Stick. After playing those instruments for a couple of decades, I finally discovered the tapping instrument that I had always been looking for. I started using the touch guitar exclusively around 2015. The U8 is built by Touch Guitars in Germany. It's an 8-string full range instrument, tuned in 5th. It goes from a low B (like a 5 string bass) to a high D (found on guitar).

Over the years, I've produced and written music with several bands but since playing the touch guitar I've been focusing on soundscapes, instant compositions, experimental & progressive electronic rock. I've started writing for various instruments and ensembles in the past few years. Légèreté De L'Etre (2022) is the first release with those compositions. Colour Spectrum, released in 2023 is another example, albeit with a much smaller band; a quartet of piano, drums, bass clarinet and touch guitar. It's Electric Chamber Music!

I have produced and recorded various projects and am the founder of Mad Ducks Records, which is home to all of my recorded output. I currently live in Austin TX.
