Description
I am a composer interested in modern harmonic arranging techinques with an old-fashioned love of memorable melodies.

Recording and equipment
Right now I do most everything on the computer. My favorite program is Reason, which is not targeted ideally for the genres I write, but I've found it to be the most efficient/resource-freindly at handling a massive number of instruments on a limited machine.
