The Synthesizer is the indigenous folk instrument of our culture. I’ve been dragging the instrument in its various forms across studio hallways and stages for 30 years. Initially struggling to keep the thing in tune and now working just as hard to make it out of tune. I've been fortunate to work with some outstanding artists. Working closely with such musicians as Donna Lewis, Robbie Dupree, Gabrielle Roth and the Mirrors, Chris Botti, Nadia Ackerman and as a member of NYC band Blow Up Hollywood. And performing on recordings with Jerry Marotta, Robert Fripp, Sting, Paul Buchanen, Tony Levin and Carla Bley.

In DDAS we enjoy a friendship of 35 years, a mutual respect for Delia, Eno, Tomita and Kraftwerk, and a roomful of iconic and mostly working synthesizers.
