Piano + Keyboard Composer / Producer.
Experimental Beats and Ambient Soundscapes, inpired by retro video games, neo-classical music and beatboxing.
I’m currently working on a live performance of electronic music, with more virtuosic keyboard solos.
Independently produced, Tweaker is a dream-like journey through electronica and sound-art.
Keyboard melodies meander over lush chords, as beats and percussion are woven into ambience, noise and glitch. Each track is an atmospheric world produced mostly from budget synths, stock fx and lo-fi recordings.
The album was made when I was suffering with RSI (repetitive strain injury). I couldn't play piano the way I used to, I'd lost a lot of skill and was at a loss with music in general, despite having just gotten a music degree
Despite the fear and confusion I was faced with during that time, I was inspired by electronic music. I was able to keep creating while healing, relearning and redeveloping my piano skills.
Ultimately, my passion for music became a compulsion that was destroying itself. But I managed to pull it back before it fell apart. This album expresses that journey and my gratitude for still being in the game.
Artwork has been produced by me using pen drawings and photographs blended with AI filters.
Debut Album Dec 30th 2022
Tweaker is a dream-like montage of various electronic music genre, from video game style, 4 on the floor, down-tempo hip hop, ambience, noise and glitch, among others. Independently produced, each track is a new atmospheric world, made almost entirely from keyboards and FX, peppered with field recordings, real world samples and lots of resampling’s of both.
Tweaker Definition: 1. An addict ‘tweaking’ in withdrawal. 2. A perfectionist, always ‘tweaking’ their project.
When does passion end and obsession begin? What’s the difference between dedicated and dependent? Tweaker is also a journey through sounds and ideas generated from 7 years of learning electronic music production, dating back to my very first experiments with electronica. It journals my progress with and relationship to creating music. My ‘letting go’ of perfectionism and an obsessive need to endlessly ‘tweak’ my creations.

Debut Single Aug 13th 2022
Billions of light years away in unknown, uncharted realms, beings of incomprehensible magnitude surf the macrocosm by titanic, multidimensional, muscular undulations. As they digest quantum particles of dark matter, they convert this energy into vibrations that reach across many galaxies. Their “song” has been accessed via the quantum field and is translated into audio here, for your listening pleasure (click the image to listen - original artwork by charliekewspace).
