The synthetic dream foundation coallesced as an experimental music band during the harsh, freezing seasons of late 2003. Though in that short time frame has gardened a pallete of sound which is comparable to the glittering of phosphorescent life on the bottom of a cold, blackened sea. From harsh, brooding, mechanical beats to dreamy, neo-classical mirages, and dark ambient masterworks which shift through and absorb cold, alien landscapes. TSDF is not limited by genre, but instead compelled by the infinite possibilities that electronic advancements bestow upon the musical and artistic forms.

I have been involved with just about every aspect of art since a very young age. Though none has held as crippling an addiction as music has. This is an oddity in itself to a degree, as no one else in my family is involved w/ any of the arts. I fully introduced myself to these fantasy excursions on my own, so I generally consider myself a self taught musician and artist, though I did begin receiving professional lessons at the high school/college level. I just recently graduated from college with a B.A. in music composition and a B.A. in Psychology.

My main instruments are piano and percussion though I play a great many more. I am very interested in blending older traditions of art and music with the technological tools of the modern world. I am particularly interested in Timbre at the moment and love exploring sound synthesis/design. TSDF has historically been a solo music project of mine, but in the last year I have begun collaborating with many singers and I believe I will continue to work in this manner for atleast the immediate future. If you are a vocalist (particularly classically trained vocalists) please get in contact with me about sending a demo of your work to my studio, if you would like to be considered for future compositions. I am also currently considering collaboratiions with instrumentalists who play western orchestral wind or string instruments and people who play eastern wind or string instruments.

I have also begun to be contacted by quite a few individuals who have wanted me to compose scores for their films and tv ads, do sound design for their films, as well as people interested in using my visual artwork for various projects, so I have been expanding into those areas in the past year (writing this in mid 2007)
