Lately he has been writing music for film, movie trailers, television commercials, documentaries and various audiovisual installations.

He currently spends all his time learning how to master the art of the Glockenspiel. This is what I think... We are all travelers. As we move through our daily lives distracted by the rhythm of the world around us, most are unaware that we are hurtling through the unfathomable emptiness of space on a minuscule cosmic cell, a delicately balanced biosphere seemingly perfected for life to exist beneath its protective blanket of air and oceans of water. Our cell the earth, rides a current of space and time around a star we call the Sun, which in turn provides a celestial regularity to our day-to-day lives as we ebb and flow to the pulse of its gravitational tide. As we humans advance technically and move more rapidly into the unpredictable realm of progress, we have acquired the ability to peer deep into the fabric of nature, and now comprehend more about our surroundings than we ever have. This is the epoch of understanding. Yet the majority of us are unaware of our unique place within the universe. Ignorant to the mystifying reality that our world resides within, we have detached ourselves from nature and most seek deeper answers. Naïve and perhaps complacent, the majority of us are unaware that our very existence is cosmically interwoven into the very beginning of everything, that we view the universe from a very intimate and spiritual place indeed. We are made up of the same basic elements that inhabit the universes most distant corners, however, we observe the universe from far deeper within. We are the universe witnessing itself - contemplating and questioning from the inside. If intelligent life is defined by consciousness, then we are a part of the universes very own consciousness observing itself from within the sanctuary of a fragile life support system - a tiny blue biosphere. How we treat this celestial gift, and each other, will be the biggest verification as to whether we are truly intelligent or not. PUT YOUR BIO SECTION HERE!
