I like to explore and make all sorts of music. Viral Dissector is my more heavily electronic/synth focused exploration. The album “October 2023” is a collection of improvisational works using Moog DFAM, Moog Subharmonicon, Moog Grandmother, Roland TR08 and electric guitar. These improvisations were recorded over the course of one week in October 2023.

I enjoyed working as the audio/mix engineer and collaborating with WAER, local Syracuse musicians and students in Syracuse University’s Sound a recording Technology program on this project.

To spotlight Syracuse talent, WAER’s Ashley Kang brought together a group of local musicians to write, record and produce an original song in a limited time span, all in an effort we’re calling the “Salt City Mashup.”
