In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My father (he was a recording engineer) took me to a rehearsal of the Philadelphia Orchestra - and I heard a Celesta for the first time. Eugene Ormandy told me a joke.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Kraftwerk, Computer World (Remastered) Miles Davis, Kind of Blue The Beatles, Abbey Road (Remastered) Computer World is the Abbey Road of Electronic Music. I love the sound of real analog synthesizers. Abbey Road is the Abbey Road of pop records. A tour de force of song writing and production Kind of Blue unfolds like a magical dream world.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “The Han” I wrote this to be bittersweet. The beauty and sadness of life. Solo piano can convey so much emotion.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Producing and Mixing the Lumineers Brightside was very memorable as it was done in my personal studio, Sun Mountain. We took song demos from iPhones and created a world.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I have too many ideas. I would love to create more songs that resonate. Instrumental music that evokes emotion. I love both writing and production.
