i'm a musician
with an emphasis in chiptune music. within chiptune, my specialties are the NES / Famicom, Game Boy, and (recently) Virtual Boy. frequently-represented genre influences include pop punk / ska punk, prog metal, sunshine pop, and uptempo EDM, to name a few. i frequently incorporate a vocoder into my recordings and performances.

i actively perform the above, having participated in chiptune and chipmusic-adjacent events for over a decade, mostly but not exclusively on the US west coast. here's an archive of what i've done in that regard. i wanna go wherever chiptune can take me -- your town next?

aside from chiptune, i've been known to produce drum & bass, happy hardcore, synth folk, and more... just less often than i used to!

i've been doing this for a while and have released a lot of albums! find them on my bandcamp or on the streaming platform of your choice.

i've dabbled in game audio on and off (mostly off, but i wanna do more game jams soon!).
like rhythm games? this is ancient, but i'm responsible for a song you might be familiar with.

i DJ every now and then! though i'd occasionally be called upon to mix 80s or chiptune, my preferred style typically takes pop and eurodance into happy hardcore / breakcore / gabber territory and gets silly with it! stay tuned to catch a mix which might be harder now that twitch is getting worse about it.
current and upcoming projects
i recently became the first chiptune artist to substantially explore the space of tandem Virtual Boy + Game Boy chiptunes. the album, Familial Verses, will release this september. check out the music video i did for the lead single, Twin!
other stuff
i made a brief foray into speedrunning for a bit. i'm retired. had a few WRs for niche games / categories at points. here's my src profile if you're interested in that.
