Personal
In the early 2000s I formed an electronic music group named EVAC with my longtime friend, Jeremy Goldstein. At that time, a new
sound was emerging in electronic music. It was darker and more aggressive than before, incorporating aspects of Drum & Bass,
electro and breakbeat. It was dubbed "nu school breaks" and our early output was heavily influenced by it. I was so into the music,
that even before forming EVAC, I created one of the first websites for the genre, Nubreaks.com. During the website's rise in becoming the canonical resource
for the genre, I became deeply entrenched in the community as well as the genre's progression. From streaming web radio shows to interviewing producers to performing at
massive festivals like Ultra Music Festival, it was an exciting time with many highlights.
While the early EVAC releases were definitely influenced by nubreaks, we also generously incorporated our love for electro and IDM. In everything we did, we
relished the technical over the danceable and the dark over the light.
Over the years we released EPs and remixes as well as collaborated with visual artists on both
commercial and more artistic endeavors.
Below are some of the highlights of our solo and remix work.
In recent years I've been drawn back to electronic via modular synthesisers. The unpredictability and physicality of them has completely drawn me in. I love the way the creations ("patches")
are ephemeral — even turning the synth off and on again is likely to make things sound very different. Once the patch cables are pulled, there is no chance of arriving back at the sound you had.
Some of my more interesting output is captured on
Soundcloud.
