Swallow is a 20 minute short film shot on the Scarlet Red camera in the Spring of 2012. It premiered at the Timecode:Nola Film Festival 2. The film is the exploration of a man whose idea of the world has been shaped by means of conditioning through guilt and shame. Swallow explores this man's life by means of an organic stream of consciousness - where all things have already happened and represent the flashes of images that would likely happen in a single moment of conflict. The film is a tribute to those raised in a strict Catholic household.
This Summer's EP is all about the spirit. Inspired by Tales of Xillia character art, I always found it strange that tales games in particular don't enhance the summon spirits personalities with character themes. So I made some myself with their images as inspiration from their most recent concepts.
The growth of an individual through constant challenges, breaking what was once thought of as "unthinkable." The songs on display here are a mixture of original compositions blended with the challenges that were given during my run in Asis Galvin's Battle of the Beats series, Jarvis Edmond Carter's Challenge of the Week series, and most notably the Bleeding Fingers contest ran by Hans Zimmer. They symbolize the growth from an arranger/composer into full producing/audio engineering capabilities thanks to hard work and dedication.

The Ballad of Holland Island House tells the true story of the last house on a sinking island in the Chesapeake Bay, brought to life through fluidly transforming animated clay-on-glass paintings. The house sings of its life and the creatures it has sheltered, and contemplates time and environmental change. Told from the house's point of view, this film is a soulful and haunting view of the impact of sea-level rise.

I have been building musical instruments for a number of years now and my new band "canopy" is finally out performing in Baltimore. all handmade instrumentation, mostly tamboura and kalimba, I have built the sounds from the ground up. I created a soundboard, which is a table fitted with pick-ups which allow the sounds to be amplified and sent to a few loop pedals. i build layers of melodic sound along with My art partner Mckenzie Ditter.
A live visual theater performance/installation blending animation, ceramic sculpture, underwater plastic-bottle puppets, live video feed, and multiple projections. The process and the product are created live on stage simultaneously, creating an immersive world from the hive-minded perspective of the jellyfish. Low-tech meets high-tech, digital meets DIY, building a speculative Post-Anthroposcene environment: a Neo-Precambrian world of human remains where jellyfish rule the sea.
"Peals' debut, Walking Field, is a meditative and exploratory headphone panorama of the highest order. From the first moment, they set aside the basses of their high-profile post-punk outfits for acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, tambourines, toy pianos, and other sonic tools in pursuit of a stripped-down, warm living-room atmosphere.
