Resumé
There's a lot here - I've been doing this for a while. But here are some shortcuts to the good stuff:
- songs for film, TV and streaming media
- songs for musical theatre
- songs for theme park attractions
- orchestration, arranging, producing & music supervision
- teaching
- collaboration
- education

ableton live as a live looping tool
I have designed live looping rigs for electric violinists following the success of my long-time partner and collaborator, Val Vigoda. Depending on the client, I have done any and all of the following:
- writing looping arrangements
- program midi foot pedals (FAMC Music Liquid Foot, Aeros Loop Studio)
- program Ableton Live
- set up effect switching systems
- prepare timed midi signals to trigger projections
- hand-holding through the craziness and delight of a complicated midi looping rig
Clients:
- Val Vigoda (arranging, producing, co-writing, system design, programming)
- Savannah Jo Lack (programming, system design, troubleshooting)
- Eliza Jane Schneider
- Janice Martin
keyboard, vocal, guitar, bass, ukelele, drums, mandolin instruction
- Private Students (May 2022-present)

software proficiency
- I'm fluent in Logic Pro, fluent enough to teach and troubleshoot in Ableton Live, and reluctantly capable in ProTools;
- Final Cut Pro X, Apple Motion, Davinci Resolve;
- Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Affinity Photo;
- Musescore, Finale, Sibelius, music xml translation
- hand-coding websites, troubleshooting wordpress plugins, css, etc;
I'm a dyed-in-the-wool geek, I pick stuff up pretty quick.
