A new album is out

120V is out now on Amazon as a downloadable album.

This is a compilation album of my solo works from 2002 to 2013.  All tracks except one are available for streaming in Soundcloud (The SCloud has a better streaming quality, and you can listen to the entire track). The album-only track, also named as 120v, is a no-input mixer piece that is quite different from all other works included in this album.
Visceral Media also made a video interview about me and my album. The guest in this video also appears in some of my works.

Please listen, share, review, and purchase the album!

A New Album is on the Way

Visceral Media Records will be releasing my new album in few weeks. The album is titled 120V, and it is a “best of” album that contains my works composed in the past 10+ years.  It also has a new track for no-input mixer and computer (marked with * in the track listing).

The album has quite a variety in terms of electronic music style. I feel very happy to share an album that contains pieces that reflects who I was and who I am. My life and music has changed immensely since I started to make electronic after plugging things into 120V outlets in the US.

Hunchback of Notre Dame … A Mute Play

Here are some pictures of my recent theatre collaboration. Adam Vidiksis and I made music for the Hunchback of Notre Dame … a Mute Play. It was produced by the Renegade Company. As you may find in the Company’s website, the play received numerous positive reviews. I am very happy about the resulting collaboration. The video and audio recording of the piece is one the way, but I think that the following pictures can show some aspects of the play.  As for the music, my portion of electronic part was coupled with Adam’s imaginative percussion and his own electronics.
